About this artwork

This is a poster by Edward Penfield, dated 1896, and it belongs to his series of poster calendars. The title, October, November, December, points to the final three months of the year. It is also listed among 1896 American posters and 1897 calendars, which suggests it was made with the coming year in mind. Penfield was an American illustrator working during what is often called the Golden Age of American Illustration, and he is widely regarded as the father of the American poster. This piece is a good example of how everyday printed items, such as a calendar, could become a considered work of graphic design.

On your wall: Its vintage poster character suits studies, hallways, kitchens and living spaces where a touch of period graphic design is welcome.
