A single page from the back pages of *Harper's Weekly*, dated 8 May 1875, shows how varied magazine advertising had become by then. On one sheet, readers could find tooth paste, silver polish, teething syrup, asbestos materials, carriages, organs, new novels, and an amateur printing press. Founded in New York in 1857, *Harper's* was a widely read illustrated weekly that ran notices like these beside its news engravings. The printing press in particular hints at the hobby appeal of home printing in the years after the Civil War, a detail that makes this page a useful record of everyday consumer goods.
