Edward Penfield's "Harpers Sept., 1896" is a notable example of late 19th-century American illustration and graphic design. Penfield, often regarded as one of the pioneers of the American poster movement, created this piece as part of his series of monthly covers for Harper's Magazine. His work during this period is characterized by its bold, simplified forms and striking use of color, which helped to define the visual language of American advertising and magazine illustration at the turn of the century.

The cover for September 1896 features a stylishly dressed woman reading a copy of Harper's Magazine, set against a flat, monochromatic background. This composition reflects Penfield's ability to blend fine art with commercial appeal, making the magazine cover both an advertisement and a piece of art in its own right. The use of a single, dominant figure was a common motif in Penfield's work, allowing him to focus on the elegance and modernity of the subject, which in turn mirrored the sophistication of the magazine's readership.

Penfield's approach to illustration was heavily influenced by the Art Nouveau movement, which emphasized organic forms, flowing lines, and a harmonious integration of text and image. His work for Harper's Magazine not only elevated the status of the publication but also set a new standard for magazine covers, influencing subsequent generations of illustrators and designers.

"Harpers Sept., 1896" is a testament to Penfield's skill in capturing the zeitgeist of his era. It reflects the cultural and aesthetic values of the late 19th century, a time when magazines were becoming a significant medium for both information and entertainment. Penfield's covers are now considered iconic, and they continue to be studied and admired for their artistic and historical significance.
