This iconic poster by Will Bradley represents a high point of American Art Nouveau graphic design in the 1890s. The 'Field Flowers' book was a charitable project designed to honor the legacy of the beloved American children's poet Eugene Field shortly after his death. The poster itself became a collector's item, and the project succeeded in commissioning an impressive list of prominent illustrators of the era to contribute to the volume.
