Edward Penfield (1866-1925) · Calendar, January to March 1897, 1896
Format
Archival pigment giclée on museum-grade matte art paper, color-managed to the source scan — the flat inks and stone grain intact. The 40×60 is the room-changer.
Size
$39.00
What it is
A colour lithograph calendar sheet for January, February and March 1897, drawn by Edward Penfield and dated 1896 in the record; 36 by 26 cm.
Why it matters
Calendars were the poster artist's other trade: a sheet the buyer kept on the wall for a whole quarter.
What to notice
The quarter is the subject. The three month names sit where a magazine title would.
A season you could hang.
