The Modern Poster Peacock Print, 1895 Will Bradley Art Nouveau Wall Art

Will Bradley’s 1895 “The Modern Poster” peacock design is a striking piece of American Art Nouveau poster art, pairing elegant bird imagery with bold graphic design from the golden age of the illustrated poster.

Created by William H. Bradley for Charles Scribner’s Sons, this color lithograph was used for “The Modern Poster,” an 1895 publication devoted to the international poster craze. The Art Institute of Chicago identifies the work as “The Modern Poster,” dated 1895, by William H. Bradley, printed and published by Charles Scribner’s Sons.

The peacock’s sweeping form, decorative feathers, restrained palette, and strong lettering make the print feel both antique and surprisingly modern. It works beautifully as Art Nouveau wall art, vintage poster decor, peacock art, or a design-history piece for interiors shaped by elegance, pattern, and visual character.

This print has been digitally restored from historical source material to preserve the character of the original while improving clarity, balance, and detail for modern display.
