‘image from https://www.myddoa.com/know-all-men-by-these-presents-by-coles-phillips/: For Phillips’ “fade-away” style, he used the negative space in the background and matched it with the objects in the foreground. This allowed the viewer’s mind to fill in the rest of the image. Besides being a really wonderful new style of design, this also saved the magazine a lot of money in publishing costs, so was encouraged by his employers. “Know All Men by These Presents” is actually a legal term calling attention to some important matter. It is used in tongue-and-cheek here as a woman sits contemplating the gifts of her gentlemen callers which are strewn across her desk and hanging on the wall above her.’
