Harper’s round table – Thanksgiving number ’95 1895

This striking cover for the 1895 Thanksgiving edition of *Harper’s Round Table*, designed by Will Bradley, exemplifies the *Art Nouveau* style. Bradley’s illustration features a stylized figure in armor riding a horse, with a banner of lions and an ornate floral background, all rendered in a bold, graphic, and highly decorative fashion. The composition, colors, and lettering express a sense of dynamism and movement, reflecting the period's fascination with nature, symbolism, and ornamentation. *Harper’s Round Table* was a popular magazine for young people, and Bradley's design reflects the growing influence of artistic trends on commercial illustration during this time.
