About the artist

Joseph Pennell (1857-1926) was born in Pennsylvania, and worked and studied in Europe for most of his career. He was a contemporary of James Whistler and William Morris. Pennell said of this poster design that it, "must appeal to the people—the people gorged with comics, and stuffed with movies, and fattened on photographs."
