HARPER'S SEPTEMBER. 1894.
16 1/4x10 5/8 inches.
Condition B+: stains in image.
An elegantly turned-out woman pauses from reading Harper's, as if to reflect on her summer just ended. Writing in Scribner's book, The Modern Poster in 1895, Bunner declares of Penfield, "In the lightness, freshness and purity of that humor; in the composition, free without license, and unconventional without extravagance; in the striking yet inoffensive use of color; in the frankness and unaffected innocence and happy simplicity of the whole thing, I find a quality which, I am grateful to think, comes to the American artist... as his natural and honest birthright." Kiehl 153, DFP I 336, Reims 1255.
