Different institutions have attributed this to different designers. The New York Public Library's collection of posters has the designer listed as H.B. Pennell. The same poster held in the Huntington Library is credited to Maurice Brazil Pendergast, which is probably due to the monogram being confused for MBP rather than HBP. See all items with this value

An article in an 1895 issue of "Book News" credits a "Mr. Henry C. Pennell" for the design of the cover and title page of this book, which is not named specifically but has been identified via the process of elimination. This is with the assumption that the middle initial "C" was an error, and should have been "Henry B. Pennell". See all items with this value
