April 1897 Inland Printer
Scanned from the original cover in the bound volume XIX that includes April through September. Each issue had a cover created by J. C. Leyendecker (1874 - 1951) and he also did another series of 6 for the Inland Printer, his first major client. These were done when Leyendecker was 23--he went on to create several hundred covers for the Saturday Evening Post, and interestingly, the Wikipedia write up of Leyendecker fails to mention the Inland Printer work at all. He also created the editorial page artwork for each of these issues that was based on the theme of the cover drawing.
