William H. Bradley: The Chap‐Book


The Chap‐Book poster. 1895, 52.5 x 35.5 cm, USA
William H. Bradley (USA 1868–1962)

The name "Chap-Book" came from the earliest days of printing. In the sixteenth century chapbooks — or "cheap" books — were short pamphlets, often illustrated, that contained folk stories, remedies, and other popular literature.

    I like the colors in this. Does she have symbols in her hands?

    That is beautiful...I love how the whole thing is made up of the same type of hatching line.
