In the 1890s Rhead became known for his poster work, which was heavily influenced by artist Eug\u00e8ne Grasset. His work was in the style of art nouveau. His work was often shown in Harper’s Bazaar, Harper’s Magazine, St. Nicolas, Century Magazine, Ladies Home Journal, and Scribner’s Magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
