Published in October 1895 by The Curtis Publishing Company of Philadelphia — then, under editor Edward Bok, one of the most influential and widely read magazines in America — this hauntingly beautiful cover illustration depicted a young woman in profile amid an elaborate Art Nouveau bower of intertwining vines, grapes, and fruit trees, rendered in the characteristic palette of deep indigo and golden amber. The cover bears a handwritten dedication: To Miss Frances B. Johnston, with compliments, Commanding Johnson, Sept. 22, 1895 — a fascinating personal inscription that connects the image to the pioneering American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston.
