The Art of the Literary Poster: 

Works from the L.A. Lauder Collection

During the 1890s, a new type of poster emerged in the United States, one that more closely resembled a work of art than an advertisement. Thanks to recent advancements in printing techniques, artists could create colorful, inventive compositions that seamlessly integrated text and images. Recognizing the broad appeal of this novel art form, the publishing industry began commissioning sophisticated placards to advertise magazines, journals, books, and other types of literature. Though short-lived, the so-called literary poster had a lasting impact on illustration, graphic design, and marketing in the United States.

Edward Penfield (American, 1866–1925). Harper’s: February, 1897. Lithograph. 19 × 14 in. (48.3 × 35.5 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Leonard A. Lauder Collection of American Posters

The Leonard A. Lauder Collection of Literary Posters at The Met

Today, Day 5 was an at home day, which was perfect for me. When WW got home from double yoga, Erin fixed a killer lunch, Portuguese sausage, spinach and jalapeño & green onion scrambled eggs topped with spicy Japanese mayo.

I worked on my laptop today to catch up and maybe 

get ahead. Around 3pm WW, Superman & Zoe 

went for a 3+ mile hike, I didn't ;o)  Zoe was getting impatient thus the look, she loves her walks.

This was Zoe after the hike, Superman went back to work, and WonderWoman is reading her book. That's most of Day 5. Today was blissful, day 6 has plans.
