Cover of the April 1906 issue of The Argosy.

This is the cover of The Argosy magazine from April 1906. The illustration depicts a dramatic and adventurous scene featuring a historical or maritime theme. A man dressed in 17th-century-style clothing, including a wide-brimmed hat and cape, stands on a rocky shore gesturing toward a sailing ship in the distance. The ship is bathed in the glow of a setting sun, adding a sense of grandeur to the image. In the foreground, a crowd of people appears to be either boarding or disembarking from small boats. The text above, "In Savage Splendor," suggests an adventure story beginning in this issue. The artwork and typography reflect the vibrant storytelling and visual style characteristic of pulp magazines of the early 20th century.
