More about this wall art poster print:
Published in December 1904, *The Black Cat* magazine was known for its clever short stories and equally memorable cover designs. This issue’s cover, illustrated in the Art Nouveau style, features a sleek black cat set against a backdrop of warm tones and fluid, stylized forms. The combination of bold, flat areas of color with decorative curves was a hallmark of the era, reflecting the influence of European poster art on American illustration. The original artwork is attributed to Nelly Littlehale Umbstaetter Murphy, whose initials “NLU” often appeared on the covers she created for the magazine. Her work brought a distinctive personality to *The Black Cat*, blending humor, elegance, and an unmistakable love for her feline muse. This high-quality reproduction preserves the rich color and crisp detail of the original lithograph, offering both a visual statement and a historical artifact. Available in framed or unframed formats, it makes a perfect addition to a gallery wall, reading nook, or any space that celebrates vintage style and literary heritage.
