1874 Harpers BERMUDA SOCIETY - 19TH CENTURY

Harper's Magazine was one of the best-known and most-respected periodicals of the Victorian era covering literature, politics, culture, finance, and the arts from a then progressive perspective. Still in publication today, it is the second oldest continuously-published monthly magazine in the United States and has won numerous National Magazine Awards.

Harper's was launched in June 1850 by the New York City book-publishing firm Harper & Brothers. The earliest issues consisted largely of material that had been published in England, but the publication soon began to print the work of American artists and writers. It subsequently published commentaries by prominent politicians from both sides of the Atlantic, such as Winston Churchill and Woodrow Wilson.
