William Bradley was an artist during the Art Nouveau movement, and at one point was the highest paid artist in the early 1900's. LINK
The first thing that stood out in the poster to me is the bold contrast of the lights and darks, and how they create a simple, elegant, and flowing design. The flowing design of the image leads me to the next feature of the poster I like which is its movement. The text starts you in the upper left corner, leads you directly to the upper right corner, then makes a downward "c" shaped curve to the bottom of the page, where the remaining part of the poster's title is positioned. It is also clever how he divided the title of the poster like this in that it still is readable and not just used for the sake of being cleaver.
