1893 Harper's Bazar magazines

Ever since I was around 8 or 9 years old, I have been fascinated with my mother's old Harper's Bazar magazines. When my father owned a blood plasma research business in Baton Rouge, convicts at Angola State Pen were plasma donors. Some of them made him things, like this tooled leather cover Dad had made especially for the Harper's Bazars.     When mom passed away I inherited them.

There are 2 1895 magazines. Inside is a world of ads, stories and fashions of the time.

                                      It's all about the latest Paris fashions.

                                   Lots of ads...

                 There may be repeats. Please overlook. Or look again, they're worthy!

                                     The magazines are full of frame-able art.

                           And lots of racism, caricatures and down-home bizarre-ness.

                                      Stories, poetry,  articles, and more ads...

                                            Embroidery patterns!

And finally, I cannot believe aluminum in baking soda was a known issue WAY BACK THEN, and STILL, we have to buy smart.
