This is the March 1853 issue of HARPER’S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.  This issue was once bound, as was common for library copies.  This issue is in very good condition, except for some foxing, but the text is still very clean and readable.  This publication competed with Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly, and The Century Magazine during the later part of the 1800’s, all of which were illustrated magazines.  This issue contains stories of Art, History, Literature, Science, Travel, and contains 144 pages.
