Harper’s Weekly: Journal of Civilization was a primary source of news, fiction stories, humor, satire, and a number of other topics published in the late 19th-century. The illustrations throughout this folio make it highly desirable and coveted volume.

 

 

This 1888 issue contains military training at West Point, coverage of William II of Prussia, and attention to the Grand Army of the Republic. American naval testing at Willett’s Point is reported alongside accounts of hunting in California. The dedication of the Crispus Attucks Monument to mark the Boston Massacre is included. Regional history appears in the treatment of Leadville, Colorado.
