Description

This late 19th-century lithograph poster advertises Geo. P. Humphrey's bookshop at 25 Exchange Street, Rochester, New York, known as 'The Sign of the Old Book Man.' The design depicts a scholarly blond figure hunched over reading, surrounded by stacked books, rendered in warm ochres, sage greens, and soft neutrals with bold flat graphic lines typical of the Art Nouveau poster era. On a wall, it reads as a sophisticated, literary piece with vintage charm that suits book lovers, collectors of Americana, and fans of early graphic design.
