Description

This vibrant Art Nouveau poster by Louis Rhead features a classically draped woman in flowing red robes reclining against a rich blue background adorned with decorative foliage and orbs, holding a book inscribed with the year. Created for the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle (C.L.S.C.), a celebrated American distance-learning institution founded in 1878 in Chautauqua, New York, the poster promotes their German-Roman reading curriculum for 1897–98. Bold red and blue typography, heraldic shields labeled 'German' and 'Roman,' and Rhead's signature flat-color lithographic style give the piece a striking period aesthetic.
