Description

Ladies’ Home Journal — December 15, 1910

Ladies’ Home Journal began as a double-page supplement to a Philadelphia farm newspaper. When Louisa Knapp Curtis (wife of publisher Cyrus H. K. Curtis) was shown the feature, she told her husband she could do better — and was handed the page to manage. The first issue appeared on February 16, 1883. Within a year it became an independent publication, with Knapp serving as its first editor through 1889. Her successor, Edward Bok, oversaw a long run from 1890 to 1919, and in 1903 LHJ became the first American magazine to reach a million subscribers. Notable contributions during the public-domain window include Frank Lloyd Wright’s early architectural designs (published in 1901), Rose O’Neill’s first published Kewpie comic strip (December 1909), and a long association with the illustrator William Ladd Taylor, whose work appeared in the magazine from 1895 to 1926.
