Harper's Bazaar is published by Hearst and considers itself to be the style resource for "women who are the first to buy the best, from casual to couture". Since its debut in 1867 as America's first fashion magazine, its pages have been home to talent such as the founding editor, author, and translator Mary Louise Booth, as well as numerous fashion editors, photographers, illustrators, and writers.

The publication began as a tabloid-size weekly newspaper catering to women in the middle and upper classes. It showcased fashion from Germany and Paris in a newspaper-design format. It was not until 1901 Harper's moved to a monthly issued magazine, which continues on today (and in 31 countries and regions).

This particular magazine cover was illustrated by Russian born Romain de Tirtoff, signed under the pseudonym "Erte" (the French pronunciation of the first letters in his first and last name). Artist signature is in the print in the lower right-hand corner of the cover.
