Reclamebiljet voor het aprilnummer 1896 van het tijdschrift The Bookman before 1896

This is a poster advertising the April 1896 issue of "The Bookman," a literary journal. The poster depicts a customer in a bookstore interacting with a clerk, highlighting the magazine's appeal to readers. The graphic style is simple and bold, characteristic of early 20th-century poster design, and its black and white colors are stark and eye-catching. The poster, created before 1896 by an anonymous artist, provides a glimpse into the world of print media and the promotion of literature in the late 19th century.
