William Carqueville who created this poster lived from 1871 to 1946. He started out illustrating for Lippincott's, then travelled to Europe, studying in Paris and coming under the influence of the Art Nouveau  movement, returning the the States in the late 1890s. He is considered one of the finest US illustrators of the 1900 -1920s.

This poster is by the famous Boston illustrator, Ethel Reed. Born in 1874, she moved to Boston with her family. After a short time at art school, she was 'noticed' and was hailed as one of the foremost illustrators of the time. After her engagement to Philip Hale, a fellow artist, was broken off in 1896, she travelled to Europe and after two years she seems to have simply disappeared of the face of the earth. Her work is truly lovely and what a shame she was lost to the art world so early in her career.
