Verbal Description: Cover illustrated by Hopper for Hotel Management, November 1924 

Narrator: Cover illustrated by Hopper for Hotel Management, November 1924. This paper is about 11 inches tall and 9 inches wide. An illustration of a busy city street set in roaring twenties America. In the foreground is a man soliciting a couple who are sitting in a green Ford Roadster convertible. The car is parked at an angle, the hood to the right of the composition. The solicitor stands to the left, in profile to the viewer, near the passenger side door. Most of his features are obscured in a harsh shadow. He is holding up several canes in his left hand and a single cane in his right. Each cane has a triangle shaped flag tied horizontally just below the curved crook. The red flags blow in the wind towards the top left corner of the poster; adding a vibrant pop of color to the overall neutral palette. The couple look at the solicitor expressionless, the outlines of their faces heavily shadowed. They are dressed for cold weather, the driver in a fedora and oversized jacket while the passenger wears a cloche hat and wraps. Behind the car, to the right, pedestrians are bustling about in the distance wearing their winter coats. 

In the background, center right, a pristine hotel building rises above the busy foot traffic. The building is positioned at an angle, showcasing the hotel’s grand facade. The light pink brick and white stone building sharply contrast with the heavy dark outlines of the people in the foreground, giving the building a sense of importance. Behind the building is a flat graphic beige sky. Above the illustration is a beige header with black and white text that reads “Hotel Management”. On the very bottom of the page there is a gray footer with black text. The center text reads “Ahrens Publishing Company, Inc. New York”.
