Poster and book-cover design in The Modern Poster (1895)
Pierre Bonnard
A woman in a broad, flowered hat stands above the magazine’s loose, irregular lettering. Smaller figures and a patterned ground surround her. The design brings the publication’s name into the same visual field as the people, making the letters part of the crowded scene.
