Scribner's Magazine from December 1899 with cover drawn by Maxfield Parrish

Scribner's Monthly was a magazine first published in 1870, merging with the second incarnation of Putnam's Magazine, and was printed until 1881, when it was replaced by The Century Magazine. Scribner's Magazine was first published in January 1887, also by the publishing house of Charles Scribner's Sons, which spent $500,000 to compete with Atlantic Monthly and Harper's Monthly. At its peak its circulation topped 215,000, but by 1930 it had dropped to 70,000, and it ceased publication in May 1939. The magazine was distinguished both by its images, which focused on engravings, and later color images by artists such as Howard Pyle, Mary Hallock Foote, Howard Christy, Charles Marion Russell, Walter Everett, Maxfield Parrish, and Frederic Remington. The magazine was also noted for its articles, including work by Jacob Riis such as How the Other Half Lives, and The Poor in Great Cities, as well as Theodore Roosevelt's African Game Trails. During World War I, writers included Richard Harding Davis, Edith Wharton, and John Galsworthy.
