About the cover

Frank Leyendecker’s magazine artwork draws on theatrical subjects and storytelling. This print brings that illustrated-cover tradition into a wall-art format, allowing it to be displayed alongside fashion, theatre and literary interests. It is a reproduction of the cover artwork, not a complete issue of Vanity Fair, an antique page removed from the magazine or an original drawing. The 1915 date is retained without adding an unverified issue month or named production.

A gallery with a personal story

Imagine placing the print beside a bookshelf, with softly textured upholstery, warm wooden furniture and a favourite book close at hand. It can establish a connection between the room’s reading space and the history of illustrated publishing. The recorded purple, beige and black palette offers a starting point for coordinating accessories and neighbouring prints without needing to furnish the entire room in a period style.

A smaller format can join an existing gallery wall, while the larger option gives the cover a more prominent place. Pair it with George Wolfe Plank’s Vogue cover and Harrison Fisher’s Afternoon Tea to build a publication-led collection across different artists. Cappiello’s Grand Bal Masqué extends the costume and performance connection into poster design. Consider your available wall space and usual viewing distance when choosing a size.
