[Framed Poster] Century. July. Fiction Number

New York: Century Magazine, 1913. Framed. Fine. A most evocative early 20th century promotional poster issued by Century Magazine with its cover art for the July 1907 issue of its monthly magazine. Almost abstract in its composition while fully representational of the pretty young woman standing and reading on a beach, the design is simple, elegant, even sublime, a testament to the best of poster art. No fussiness clouds its point. The printing is of a quality that one could at first glance think the poster was actual watercolor. With its simple wood frame, 60 by 40.5 cm. Visible, 57 by 38 cm. This is the original poster, although it is not clear to us whether it was issued in 1907 when the artwork graced the magazine cover or a few years later, when there is a suggestion earlier Century and Scribner's cover art were turned into posters. One can see upon close scrutiny minor corner crease lines, a short closed tear, and minor soiling. We have not examined the poster outside its frame.
