Harper's by Edward Penfield is a significant work in the history of American illustration and graphic design, emblematic of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Edward Penfield (1866-1925) was an influential American illustrator and poster artist, often regarded as one of the pioneers of the American poster movement. His association with Harper's Magazine, a leading publication of the time, marked a pivotal moment in his career and in the evolution of magazine illustration.

Penfield's work for Harper's Magazine began in the 1890s, during a period when the magazine was seeking to enhance its visual appeal and attract a broader readership. His posters and cover illustrations for Harper's are characterized by their bold, simplified forms, and a keen sense of composition and color. These works often depicted contemporary American life with a touch of elegance and sophistication, capturing the essence of the era's social and cultural milieu.

One of Penfield's most notable contributions to Harper's was his ability to blend artistic creativity with commercial appeal. His illustrations were not merely decorative; they were designed to capture the viewer's attention and convey a narrative or mood that complemented the magazine's content. This approach helped to elevate the status of magazine illustration to an art form in its own right.

Penfield's posters for Harper's are also significant for their role in the broader context of the American Arts and Crafts movement. They reflect the movement's emphasis on craftsmanship and the integration of art into everyday life.
