Project:#47: ADVERTISING
19th Century Advertising History During
the 19th century, one of the most consistently popular American periodicals was Harper's
Weekly, an illustrated paper whose circulation was well in excess of over 100,000 on a
regular basis. This fine site highlights some of the many creative and inventive
advertisements that were prominently displayed in the periodical during the 19th and early
20th centuries. The project was the brainchild of John Adler, a longtime history buff, who
came across a complete set of the periodical for the period from 1857 to 1916.
