Collier’s November 14, 1903

1903

Edward Penfield captures the hustle of 1903 city life on this Collier's cover, featuring two fashionable women in enormous hats ignoring a shifty ticket scalper. The sign behind him warns 'Beware Ticket Speculators,' adding a cheeky layer of social commentary as the women stride past him with disdain. Penfield was a giant of the 'Golden Age of Illustration' and actually the first American artist to have a solo show at the famous Salon des Cent in Paris. His bold outlines and flat colors here show off his signature Art Nouveau style perfectly.
