EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph, titled "The Modern Poster" by American artist William H. Bradley, dates back to 1895. The captivating image features a close-up view of a peacock's magnificent plumage, with its iridescent feathers spread out in all their glory. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the lithotint print are a testament to Bradley's mastery of the art form. Bradley, a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts movement and a prolific designer, created this work during the late 19th century, a time when posters were becoming increasingly popular as a means of mass communication. The English text at the bottom of the print, "Charles Scribner's Sons, New York," indicates that this particular poster was published by the esteemed American publishing company. The peacock, a symbol of pride and beauty, is depicted against a plain background, allowing its ornate feathers to take center stage. The artist's use of Western script and capital letters adds to the overall elegance and sophistication of the design. This beautiful work of art, now part of the Prints and Photographs Division of the New York Public Library's Wallach Collection, is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and the enduring appeal of the natural world.
