This print, titled "Representative journals & journalists of America," gathers the names of American periodicals and the writers behind them into a single sheet, a format that set it apart from many single-portrait pictures of its time. Group compositions like this were a common way in the early 1880s to show a crowded press at a glance, letting viewers compare publications and the people who ran them. The record links the work to the firm Root & Tinker, but that attribution comes from an unverified shelflist card. The date, October 6, c1882, appears to be tied to its copyright registration.
