Ballou's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion

Ballou's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion

"Ballou's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion", a 19th-century American periodical in the same vein as Harper's Weekly.

History

The magazine was founded in 1851 in Boston, Massachusetts as "Gleason's Pictorial", changing its name to "Ballou's Pictorial" in 1855, after managing editor Maturin Ballou bought out the interest of Frederick Gleason.

The magazine absorbed the "Illustrated News" of New York in 1853.

The magazine continued in its original format until 1859. In later decades it existed as "Ballou's Monthly Magazine" or "Ballou's Dollar Monthly Magazine" until it folded in June 1893.

Artists

Like other pictorial newspapers or magazines, "Ballou's" featured artists such as Winslow Homer.
