Harpers Weekly page featuring an artwork by perhaps the most legendary Western artist, Frederic Remington.
Harper's Weekly was a prominent American weekly periodical that began publication in 1857 and ran until 1916. It was known as "a journal of civilization" and featured notable coverage of major events, including the U.S. Civil War and issues related to Tammany Hall in New York. Initially, the magazine aimed to avoid controversy, but it eventually took a strong pro-Union stance during the Civil War, supporting emancipation and black civil rights. The publication was revived briefly in the 1920s and again from 1974 to 1976, with the latter revival focusing on reader-contributed content. Harper's Weekly was renowned for its illustrations, often provided by artists like Thomas Nast, and its influence on American journalism.
