The ads
April is golf season: an oversized golfer addresses the ball while a ploughman works the field behind him, so Harper's April belongs to the man at leisure.
The August Harper's is part of a well-dressed man's summer outing, tucked under his arm beside his umbrella as he shades his eyes to take in the sights.
The January Harper's is what fashionable people carry: a man tipping his hat and the woman he greets each have a copy under the arm.
The July Harper's is announced by a wordless standoff: two cats nose to nose across a potted tree, a small comic scene the passerby remembers.
March as one comic accident: the wind tears Harper's out of a woman's hands while a mad March hare dashes past her skirt.
The May Harper's rests on one deadpan image: a woman in white holding up two long-suffering cats, with nothing explained.

The October number is so absorbing that a hunter walks the field with his nose in it while two hares sit up and watch him, unbothered.
Harper's September issue poster, 1896
The new number is a bright gold block in a stylish reader's hand, held out beneath the title, so buying it looks like joining her.

Harper's April is sold as a spring outing: a young man with a pipe and a board under his arm pauses on a wooden deck above a winding river.
Harper's August goes where summer goes: a girl in a red cap grips a rope overhead and reaches down for the magazine lying at her feet.
A new Mark Twain story, Tom Sawyer Detective, begins in the August Harper's, announced on a small slip above two idle summer figures.
The August Harper's belongs at the seaside resort: a young woman in a smart jacket stands before a hooded beach chair, a yellow-covered volume in her gloved hand.
August is for reading at ease: a man sits back in a wooden armchair with the magazine open and a tall iced drink in his hand.
Harper's Christmas poster, 1894
The Christmas Harper's is the thing to curl up with: a woman on a red settee is so absorbed in the issue that she ignores the cat watching her.
Harper's Christmas poster, 1895
Santa raises a glass beside a fashionable young woman, and the issue's list of famous authors and artists is presented as the Christmas gift inside.
Harper's Christmas poster, 1896
Harper's Christmas is signalled by colour, not symbols: a woman in a red coat and black muff walks past a green wreath with her dog.

Christmas with Harper's is a quiet hour alone: a man in a high-backed settle reads the new issue beneath a wreath framing Peace on Earth.

The Christmas issue sells itself by its roll call: a full contents list naming famous writers and illustrators like Remington, Pyle, Wister and Abbey.
Harper's February poster, 1894
The February Harper's is part of a smart winter afternoon: it lies on the bench beside a fashionable woman while a boy fastens her skates.
Harper's February poster, 1895
February means valentines: a young man posts a letter marked To My Valentine while a young woman behind him carries the new Harper's.
Harper's February poster, 1896
The February Harper's is a cold-weather walk: a young man in a yellow ulster and a woman with a muff stroll together, their clothes doing the work of the weather.
New Year is subscription time, so the poster shows a man paying for his Harper's year at the dealer's counter, with every rate posted behind the counter.
The January Harper's is sold twice on one sheet: a fashionable silhouette for the passerby, and a full contents list of named writers and artists for whoever stops.
The January Harper's is announced by a fur-wrapped driver behind a high-stepping horse in a red sleigh, tying the issue to the pleasure of a winter drive.
July means idle summer hours: a couple wrapped in plaid rugs in slatted chairs, time on their hands, and Harper's is what fills those hours.
Harper's July poster, The German Struggle for Liberty, 1895
The July issue is sold on one feature, The German Struggle for Liberty, with a German infantryman and blackletter type signalling the subject before a word is read.
June is graduation month: a new graduate in cap and gown, pipe in his teeth, stands among roses reading Harper's, the magazine of the educated man.
The June Harper's is sold as the pleasure of reading it: a man in a straw boater, seen from behind in a green rocking chair, lost in an open copy.
The June Harper's is sold as the season itself: a woman riding alone toward the viewer on a sunlit country road, the name set into the hills behind her.

The March issue arrives with the first ploughing of the year: a farmer, his black horse and a rooster mark the start of the working season.
The May issue belongs to the first warm days outdoors: a woman in summer white, Harper's under her arm, reaching toward birds nesting in a young tree.
May takes the magazine out to the pasture: a woman holding Harper's at her side stands beside a field of sheep and lambs, the month brushed across them.
Harper's is the magazine of a well-bred spring, announced by a woman in a riding habit with her greyhound instead of by any claim.
