Offered here is a rare original early 1900s advertising poster stamp featuring artwork associated with renowned American illustrator Maxfield Parrish. Issued for Brill Brothers and bearing the slogan \"Get the Habit,\" this colorful miniature advertising piece captures the bold graphic style that made Parrish one of the most influential artists of the Golden Age of Illustration.
