Book Description
The American Magazine was founded in June 1906, having been bought from publishing magnate Miriam Leslie as American Illustrated Magazine. It had begun life as popular literary magazine Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly (1876-1904), succeeded by Leslie's Monthly Magazine (1904-1905) and then Leslie's Magazine (1905), but upon its acquisition in 1906 it was reborn as a platform for investigative journalism. Over the next nine years the publication fielded accusations of 'muckraking', and eventually made a shift back to its literary roots. A renewed focus on illustrated fiction, accompanied by human interest stories and social issues, saw The American Magazine begin to appeal to a much broader audience and by September 1922 it boasted a reported monthly circulation of 1.8 million readers.

Art for the Middle Classes

Book Description
How did the average American learn about art in the mid-nineteenth century? With public art museums still in their infancy, and few cities and towns large enough to support art galleries or print shops, Americans relied on mass-circulated illustrated magazines. One group of magazines in particular, known collectively as the Philadelphia pictorials, circulated fine art engravings of paintings, some produced exclusively for circulation in these monthlies, to an eager middle-class reading audience. These magazines achieved print circulations far exceeding those of other print media (such as illustrated gift books, or catalogs from art-union membership organizations). Godey's, Graham's, Peterson's, Miss Leslie's, and Sartain's Union Magazine included two to three fine art engravings monthly, "tipped in" to the fronts of the magazines, and designed for pull-out and display. Featuring the work of a fledgling group of American artists who chose American rather than European themes for their paintings, these magazines were crucial to the distribution of American art beyond the purview of the East Coast elite to a widespread middle-class audience. Contributions to these magazines enabled many an American artist and engraver to earn, for the first time in the young nation's history, a modest living through art.Author Cynthia Lee Patterson examines the economics of artistic production, innovative engraving techniques, regional imitators, the textual "illustrations" accompanying engravings, and the principal artists and engravers contributing to these magazines.
