![The image displays a vintage poster for Scribner's Magazine, specifically highlighting the April edition. The text on the poster announces "Scribner’s FOR APRIL," with the magazine cover featuring prominently in the center and showing an illustration of a woman sitting gracefully next to classical ruins. Surrounding this central graphic are descriptions of various articles included within that month's issue: "The Ship of Stars" by A.T. Quiller-Couch, "A Lover of Music - A Story" by Henry van Dyke, Jr., "The Stevenson Letters Illustrated," and several others including poems for Easter Season illustrated by Jesse Lynch Williams.
The poster is adorned with the words "NOW READY PRICE 25 Cts." indicating its affordability at that time. The price information specifies a quantity ("25 Cts.") suggesting it was priced affordably, likely targeting a broad audience who could enjoy literature and stories from prominent authors of their era without much financial burden.
The dimensions mentioned indicate the poster is relatively large in size (56 x 36 cm), suitable for public display to catch the attention of passersby. This type of advertising during that period was common, especially for magazines which served as a source of entertainment and cultural engagement for readers. The image reflects both historical context and design aesthetics from around late 19th-century America.
