UPENN, The Online Books Page, Founded in 1842 as The Lady's World of Fashion, this publication underwent many name changes before it became Peterson's Magazine in 1848. The founders, Charles J. Peterson and George R. Graham were owners of the Saturday Evening Post. The magazine was started with the idea of competing with Godey's Lady's Book, selling for a dollar less than Godey's. Peterson's was published in semi-annual issues. The magazine was continuously publishing until 1898. These to volumes are a perfect example of what the Peterson's magazine was all about: the short stories are literary pieces, often concerned with romance or romantic places and works of historical fiction (what Madeleine Stern dubs, "Victorian sentimentalism). The engravings reflect the latest fashions of the day. A fascinating window into women's leisure during the nineteenth century. Good. A 1966 inscription on the verso of a plate, lacks the pictorial title page for volume L, missing at least two and a half plates, possibly more as the list of illustrations does not correspond properly to the plates in the volume.
