The Century for April (1895) – George Wharton Edwards
The Century for April (1895) – George Wharton Edwards
Couldn't load pickup availability
In 1895, George Wharton Edwards created this masterful cover for 'Century Magazine,' which aptly embodies the formal language of American Art Nouveau. The motif depicts a graceful female figure in a flowing golden-yellow gown, gently pouring water from an elaborately decorated vessel – a symbol of April's spring awakening. Particularly revealing is the historical typography on the right side, announcing contributions about Napoleon, Nikola Tesla, and Mark Twain, making this poster a true document of the Belle Époque. The delicate rose tones in the background harmonize wonderfully with the strong yellow and black outlines of the illustration. An ideal historical motif for people interested in classic graphics and historical magazine art.

What does Atelier Orlo do?
Atelier Orlo curates historical poster art as high-quality poster prints. The selection ranges from old advertisements, magazine covers, and travel posters to medicine, theater, Art Deco, and Art Nouveau.
It's not just about a motif being old. What's crucial is whether it still resonates today: through color, typography, composition, or a little story you'd like to have on your wall.
Can I return the poster?
Yes. You have a 30-day right of withdrawal. As the buyer, you bear the costs of the return shipment. Please return the poster well-protected, preferably in its original packaging or similar secure packaging.
Is it an original poster?
No. Atelier Orlo does not sell original posters, but carefully selected reproductions of historical designs. This makes historical poster art accessible without claiming to be a collector's original.
Does the poster come framed?
No. All posters are delivered unframed. This allows you to choose a frame that matches your room, wall color, and interior design style.
What kind of paper is used for printing?
Printing is done on matte 200 g/m2 paper. The surface is smooth and non-reflective, so that colors, typography and details of the motif appear calm. FSC-certified or equivalent paper is used.

Selected for Atelier Orlo
I'm Niklas and I founded Atelier Orlo. The selection includes designs that are not only old but still resonate in a room today. Sometimes through color, sometimes through typography, sometimes through a small story within the image. That's exactly what Atelier Orlo is for: posters that don't feel like arbitrary wall decorations.
