This poster, created by Will Bradley for the Ault & Wiborg Company between 1890 and 1920, exemplifies the bold graphic style of the Arts and Crafts movement. The composition features a stylized female figure in a black dress against a dark background dotted with red and yellow flowers. The flat, simplified forms and strong lines are characteristic of Bradley's work and the broader Art Nouveau aesthetic, which emphasized decorative patterns and natural motifs. This poster was likely used for advertising purposes, showcasing the company's products or services.
