The Sun 1896

"The Sun" is a 1896 advertisement poster by Louis Rhead, featuring a stylized woman in a long red robe. She stands with her back to the viewer, gazing towards a setting sun and a group of trees. The design uses bright, flat colors and decorative elements in a style typical of the Art Nouveau period. The poster's stylized imagery and bold typography would have been eye-catching to viewers in the late 19th century, effectively promoting the newspaper "The Sun." This poster exemplifies the Art Nouveau style's influence on commercial design at the turn of the 20th century.
