Harper's Weekly, subtitled 'A Journal of Civilization,' was an American political magazine published by Harper and Brothers out of New York City between 1857 and 1916. Comprising foreign and domestic news, short fiction, essays on many subjects, and humor, alongside illustrations, Harper's also carried extensive coverage of the American Civil War (including many illustrations of events from the war). During its most influential period, the magazine became a forum of the political cartoonist Thomas Nast.
From around 1900 onwards Harper’s Weekly focused more on political and social issues, while also featuring articles by some of the more prominent political figures of the time, such as Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. In May 1916 the magazine was absorbed by The Independent, which in turn merged with The Outlook in 1928.
