This cover of *Harper's Weekly* stands out for its crowd of cheering men, shown in a lively scene beneath the magazine's name. The weekly was one of the most influential illustrated journals in the United States, and George Harvey, who edited it in the early 1900s, shaped its coverage of politics and public affairs. Harvey later became a prominent supporter of Woodrow Wilson, a connection worth keeping in mind when reading the period's cover art. Filed under Gentlemen, the picture offers a glimpse of how the magazine portrayed male sociability and public enthusiasm for its readers.
