What you’ll see
A centred subject set within a clean, poster-like layout; confident headline lettering; measured spacing and subtle ornament typical of the era. Up close: tidy outlines and delicate grain from the original print process. From a step back: calm symmetry and quiet strength.
A richer historical frame
Around 1900–1905, posters distilled culture into iconic images—strong type, limited colour, and legible design built for the street and the salon alike. Preserved by the Library of Congress, Confidence embodies that golden age: accessible, elegant, and unmistakably modern.
