A striking example of American Art Nouveau, The Chap-Book, Thanksgiving Number (1895) by William H. Bradley is a bold, graphic masterpiece from the golden age of illustrated magazines. Known for his dramatic use of flat color and flowing, sinuous forms, Bradley helped define a distinctly American interpretation of Art Nouveau: one that favored strong silhouettes, minimal palettes, and confident design.
This poster’s vivid contrast of deep blue, jet black, and blazing red creates an unforgettable visual rhythm, while the elongated figures and sweeping shapes feel almost modern in their abstraction. Originally created as a cover for the influential literary magazine The Chap-Book, the design reflects the era’s fascination with print culture, avant-garde art, and the emerging power of visual branding.
Carefully restored and reproduced as a high-quality art print, this piece is ideal for collectors of vintage posters, early graphic design, and Art Nouveau decor. It makes a dramatic statement in studies, libraries, creative spaces, or anywhere you want a touch of late-19th-century elegance with unmistakable edge.
