Created by some of the best-known illustrators and graphic designers of the period -- including Will H. Bradley, Florence Lundborg, Edward Penfield, and Ethel Reed -- these \u003cbr\u003e advertisements for books and high-tone periodicals such as \u003ci\u003eHarper\u003c\/i\u003e's and \u003ci\u003eLippincott\u003c\/i\u003e's went beyond the realm of commercial art, incorporating bold, stylized imagery and striking typography. This book, based on the renowned Leonard A. Lauder Collection, explores the craze for literary posters, which became sought \u003cbr\u003e after collectibles even in their day. It offers new scholarly perspectives that address the aesthetic sophistication and modernity of the literary poster; the impact of early experiments in the field of advertising psychology; the expanded opportunities for women artists, who played an important role in advancing the socalled poster style; and the printmaking techniques that artists employed in this novel art form. A lively survey of a little-known but highly influential period in graphic design, \u003ci\u003eThe Art of the Literary Poster\u003c\/i\u003e is sure to delight enthusiasts of illustration, advertising, and book arts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (March 7-June 11, 2024) \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllison Rudnick\u003c\/b\u003e is associate curator in the Department of Drawings and Prints at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. \u003cb\u003eJennifer A.
