What it is
Ethel Reed's 1895 colour poster for The House of the Trees and Other Poems by Ethelwyn Wetherald; a slender sheet, 47 by 25 cm.
Why it matters
One of the 1895 book posters at the centre of Reed's short, celebrated career.
What to notice
Almost twice as tall as it is wide: the shape of a tree trunk, for a book named after trees.
A book of poems, standing up.
