ca. 1890-1920

Edward Penfield captures the bohemian spirit of the French capital with this striking cover design for Richard Harding Davis's book 'About Paris.' Two sleek black cats sit guard before a towering red windmill—a clear nod to the famous Moulin Rouge—set against a cool blue sky. The bold, hand-lettered typography dances around the windmill blades, perfectly capturing the graphic punch of the 1890s poster craze. While Penfield created this iconic cover, the book itself was illustrated by the famous Charles Dana Gibson, making it a collaboration of two Gilded Age illustration giants.
