Grande Avventura

1907

Edward Penfield ha creato questo audace design in stile poster per il libro di James Norman Hall, High Adventure. Un piccolo biplano si libra nell'angolo superiore destro, in contrasto con un grande albero ricurvo e un piccolo villaggio annidato in basso in un campo blu intenso. Come pioniere del movimento americano del poster, Penfield ha utilizzato influenze dell'Art Nouveau e sagome nette per evocare la solitudine e il brivido del volo. Il testo menziona l'opera precedente di Hall, Kitchener's Mob, ancorando questo pezzo all'era dei combattimenti aerei della Prima Guerra Mondiale.
