NOT A REPRODUCTION

Printed on heavy paper, these beautiful full page tinted lithographs feature the Parisian fashions of the time.

These plates offer a delightful insight of the ladies of 19th century Paris.

Peterson's Magazine (1842–1898) (Philadelphia) was a popular American magazine focused on women.

In 1842, Charles Jacobs Peterson and George Rex Graham, partners in the Saturday Evening Post, agreed that a new women's journal to compete with Godey's Lady's Book would be a good venture. Peterson launched Ladies' National Magazine as a cheaper alternative to Godey's ($2 per year instead of $3) in January 1842. Ann S. Stephens was an early editor and substantial contributor to the periodical, and there was some attempt to portray her as running the show (for marketing purposes, perhaps), although Peterson was still in charge. Emily H. May was another early and frequent contributor. The name of the publication had some variation in its early years, but by 1848 was titled Peterson's Ladies' National Magazine, and the Peterson prefix would always remain. From 1855 to 1892, it was called Peterson's Magazine, and thus by that name it is remembered.

Frank Munsey, the media consolidator, purchased the magazine in 1898, and combined it into Argosy magazine.

In the periodical, steel and wood engravings illustrate tales and sketches, a few hand-colored fashion plates are found within, patterns for needlework and knitting projects, and a song for each month. A successful rival of Godey's Lady's Book, not only was it a lady's magazine, but thoroughly and consciously American. It was produced by American authors for American women. The volumes contained a complete novel, which was published in twelve monthly installments. Stephens was one of the writers and immensely popular in the mid nineteenth century, she wrote exclusively for Peterson's Magazine: one of her stories, Malaeska, was reprinted in 1860 as the first Beadle Dime Novel.

Charles J. Peterson was the founder, publisher, and editor of The Peterson Magazine. He and a group of men connected with the newspaper and periodical press in Philadelphia began meeting socially in the 1840s and formed the Press Club which they renamed Our Club in 1862 to broaden membership.

This is reduced since we just closed our art gallery and are liquidating what is left.

The print is an original!

This is a real bargain, and ready to go!

It makes a great gift for collectors of rare prints.
We also carry loose original prints 300 years old or less in great condition such as: Albin, Audubon, Baron, Barraband, Bertuch, Brodtmann, Brown, Buffon, Cassel, Curtis, Cuvier, Donovan, Edwards, Fitch, Frisch, Grandville, Harrison, Walter Hood, Latham, Linden,Linnaeus, Loddiges, Martinet, McKenney, Morris, Munting, Redoute, Reinchenbachia, Schreber, Schubert, Selby, Shaw and Nodder, Van Geel, Warner, etc.... etc...

Again, we closed our art store of antique prints and custom frames as well as our store of rare artifacts from around the world and we will now sell them direct to the public here. We have 1000's of antique prints and it will take a while to do so, so if you are interested in prints from the names above or others since I did not have time to list them all, please contact us.
