A vintage advertising poster by Edward Penfield for Hart, Schaffner & Marx, depicting a Philadelphia Light Horse Trooper from 1775. This fine art print combines historical charm with Art Nouveau style, perfect for adding a touch of vintage sophistication to your home.

Edward Penfield's 'A Philadelphia Light Horse Trooper, 1775' is a striking example of early American advertising art, showcasing the artist's distinctive Art Nouveau style. Penfield, a prominent figure in the American poster movement, served as the art director for Harper's Magazine in the 1890s, where he honed his skills in graphic design and illustration. This particular piece, originally created as a promotional poster for Hart, Schaffner & Marx, a leading clothing manufacturer, depicts a distinguished light horse trooper from Philadelphia, circa 1775. The trooper's attire is meticulously rendered, reflecting the era's fashion, while the composition exudes a sense of patriotic pride and sartorial elegance. Penfield's use of bold lines, flat colours, and simplified forms is characteristic of the poster style, making it visually appealing and easily legible. The inclusion of text promoting the clothing brand seamlessly integrates the commercial message with the artistic design. As a fine art print, this work adds a touch of historical charm and vintage sophistication to any interior. Its clean lines and balanced composition make it a versatile piece that complements both modern and traditional decor. The print serves as a reminder of a bygone era, celebrating American heritage and the artistry of early advertising.

Edward Penfield

Imagine shocking fin-de-siècle New Yorkers by boldly signing your posters – a radical act of self-promotion in an era when artists often remained anonymous. That was Edward Penfield, the 'Poster King,' who transformed American illustration with his striking designs. Penfield wasn't just creating advertisements; he was crafting miniature masterpieces that captured the spirit of a rapidly changing nation. Penfield embraced simplicity and strong, flat colours, drawing inspiration from Japanese prints and the Arts and Crafts movement. Eschewing excessive detail, he focused on conveying the essence of a scene or product with minimal lines and bold compositions. His posters, often promoting *Harper's* magazine, exude a sophisticated charm and a distinctly American sensibility. Penfield's innovative approach to composition and colour made his work instantly recognisable and highly influential. Today, Edward Penfield's posters are celebrated for their timeless appeal and graphic ingenuity. His ability to distill complex ideas into visually arresting images continues to inspire designers and artists. Collectors are drawn to Penfield's work not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for its historical significance as a window into a bygone era of American optimism and artistic innovation. His prints add a touch of vintage elegance and graphic punch to any modern space.
