Poster and book-cover design in The Modern Poster (1895)
Will H. Bradley
A long, pale figure is enclosed by a red field of peacock feathers in the frontispiece. In Carnival Time, masked figures sit within an intricate floral border. The two designs make a useful pairing: the first builds its effect from a narrow central silhouette, while the second sets broad, curving figures against dense ornament.
