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 1898 issue covers accounts from Korea by W.H. Jackson, featuring mountain villages, native customs, and shrines. Visual and written pieces document Japanese sumo wrestlers and baseball players. War content includes illustrated scenes from Cuba, reports on the Fall of Manila, and coverage of battles in Puerto Rico. The annexation of Hawaii, the Philippine-American War, and an early profile of Theodore Roosevelt as colonel also appear. American domestic interests are reflected in reports on the National Academy of Design and the restoration of Independence Hall. Early American football is featured, including match summaries from Yale and Chicago.
