French academic painter Luc-Olivier Merson designed the artwork, bringing the prestige of European fine art to one of the most important publishing events of the Gilded Age holiday season.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMerson was among France's most distinguished artists, having won the coveted Prix de Rome in 1869 and a gold medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris. His celebrated illustrations for Victor Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris and his decorative commissions for the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur demonstrated the remarkable range of his talents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarper \u0026amp; Brothers had founded Harper's Bazar in 1867 as \"a repository of fashion, pleasure, and instruction,\" inspired by the German publication Der Bazar. Under founding editor Mary Louise Booth, who served until her death in 1889, the magazine became the definitive guide for style-conscious American women during the era of bustles, elaborate millinery, and Victorian elegance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis reproduction captures a rare intersection of French academic artistry and American publishing ambition at the height of the Gilded Age. Valued as both a landmark of fashion history and a testament to transatlantic cultural exchange, it stands among the most distinguished magazine posters of the nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"8x12 Inch","offer_id":46417082613949,"sku":"ENPM0205_0812V","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x17 Inch","offer_id":46417082646717,"sku":"ENPM0205_1117V","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x24 Inch","offer_id":46417082679485,"sku":"ENPM0205_1624V","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 Inch","offer_id":46417082712253,"sku":"ENPM0205_2436V","price":97.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/57f2b8e4-f8cd-5f79-a16a-d4d38dc42b8d.jpg?v=1771470363","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/products\/1889-harpers-bazar-christmas-poster","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
