What it is
J. J. Gould Jr.'s 1896 colour poster for the December number of Lippincott's, 41 by 36 cm.
Why it matters
Lippincott's was a Philadelphia literary monthly, 1868 to 1915. The record gives Gould's birth as 1880, so he drew this run of monthly posters as a teenager.
What to notice
The near-square sheet is unusual for a magazine poster; most in this set run tall.
A Philadelphia monthly's year, month by month.
