"August" is a notable poster created by Edward Penfield, an influential American illustrator and a key figure in the development of graphic design in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Penfield is often credited with pioneering the American poster movement, and his work for Harper's Magazine is particularly celebrated for its artistic and historical significance.

Created in 1896, "August" is one of a series of monthly posters Penfield designed to promote Harper's Magazine. These posters were instrumental in establishing the visual identity of the publication and are considered exemplary works of the Art Nouveau style. Penfield's posters are characterized by their bold, simplified forms, flat areas of color, and strong, clear lines, which were innovative at the time and helped to set the standard for modern poster design.

"August" features a striking composition that captures the leisurely spirit of summer. The poster depicts a fashionable woman in a flowing dress and wide-brimmed hat, reading a book while seated in a garden. The use of vibrant colors and the relaxed, idyllic scene evoke the leisurely pace of summer and the intellectual engagement associated with reading Harper's Magazine. Penfield's ability to blend aesthetic appeal with promotional intent is evident in this work, making it both an effective advertisement and a piece of fine art.

Edward Penfield's contributions to graphic design and illustration were significant, and his work for Harper's Magazine remains influential. "August" exemplifies his skill in creating visually compelling and culturally resonant images that continue to be appreciated for their artistic merit and historical importance.
