Published in *Harper's* in 1903, this pen-and-ink drawing with watercolor wash belongs to the magazine's long tradition of illustration. Its title, "The journey," is broad enough to suggest a trip of any kind, and the piece reflects how periodicals of the period used illustrations to carry readers along on travel, both real and imagined. Around 1903, *Harper's* was among the most widely read American general-interest magazines, and its illustrators helped shape how many readers pictured distant places and the act of going there. Because the record names no artist or specific destination, the drawing is best read as an example of that period's magazine art.
