Weekly was first published in 1857. During the Civil War, between
1861 and 1865, the wood engravings of many well known American
artists such as Winslow Homer, Thomas Nast, and Alfred Waud appeared
in its pages. After the war, other accomplished ilustrators such
as Howard Pyle and Rodgers contibuted images to Harpers.
The pages, all measuring 10"
x 15" and covering countless images and subjects of the
day, provide both historical and aesthetic interest. Original
