A propos de cet article

This is the November 3, 1900 issue of "Harper's Bazar, A Weekly Magazine for Women" (Volume XXXIII, No. 44). "Harper's Bazar" was one of the most influential periodicals in publishing history, being a preeminent women's magazines of its day. A great source for vintage fashion ideas, it is filled with beautifully illustrated fashion displays, top-notch stories by favorite authors and articles by experts on numerous topics guaranteed to be of interest to Edwardian women, what was there not to fascinate subscribers? ************************************ In this issue, along with numerous Women's Fashion Illustrations, there is the conclusion of a Serialized Story, My Translatophone by Frank Stockton, illustrated by W. L. Jacobs. Readers could sigh with comfortable pleasure for William Dean Howells continued account of Nathaniel Hawthorne s fictional heroines. Long before ETSY, there were individuals doing home-made gifts, and Harper s Bazar focused on some do-it-yourself Christmas gifts that seem just like today. ************************************ To be "with it" in 1900 meant one read "Harper's Bazar". Women who paid attention to culture and style paid attention to this entertaining and informative magazine. There are also some fascinating period advertisements , and especially the unusual (for its time) full color advertisement for Shredded Wheat recipes. There is much of charm and interest in this November 1900 issue, including fiction, poetry (Margaret Sangster contributes one poem), articles on fashion, dinners, all sorts of useful advice and interesting advertisements. The detailed information on fashion alone is priceless for the social historian, home dress-maker, and costumer alike. The issue ends with an ad for Ivory Soap on the rear cover - this being a patriotic exhortation - this in the face of the then ongoing Philippine war. ************************************** TITLE : Harper s Bazar, a Weekly Magazine for Women / ISSUE : Vol. XXXIII, No. 44 / DATE : November 3, 1900 / EDITOR : Elizabeth Jordan / IMPRINT : Harper & Brothers / PLACE : Franklin Square, New York / PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : Weekly Periodical; contains numerous half-tone photographs and line illustrations; Volume pages 1671 - 1732 (62 pp) + 15 pages of advertising and back material (including rear cover recto); approx. 7 3/8" x 9 7/8", decorated wraps, staple-bound and glued .
