Edward Penfield (1866–1925) was a prominent American illustrator and graphic designer, widely regarded as one of the pioneers of the modern poster art movement in the United States. Often referred to as the "father of the American poster," Penfield was best known for his work with Harper's Magazine, where he served as the art director and created a series of iconic monthly cover illustrations that blended bold, simplified forms with vibrant colors. His style, characterized by strong outlines, flat shapes, and minimal text, was influenced by both the Art Nouveau movement and Japanese woodblock prints, which were popular at the time. Penfield's posters, advertisements, and magazine covers helped to elevate commercial illustration to an art form and played a crucial role in shaping American visual culture at the turn of the 20th century. His work not only captured the everyday life and fashion of his era but also established a lasting legacy in the world of graphic design and advertising.
