The Inland Printer for June 1896

1896

Step back to 1896, when magazine covers were true works of art! Elisha Brown Bird designed this breathtaking cover for The Inland Printer, a leading trade journal for the printing industry. A red-haired maiden leans dreamily over a sea of white roses, her flowing hair echoing the winding path that leads to a tranquil lake. This piece is a perfect snapshot of the Art Nouveau craze sweeping through America, proving that even a 20-cent magazine could look like a million bucks.
