Collier's: The National Weekly ran this cover on September 19, 1914, a few weeks after Germany and Russia had gone to war, and its subject is a Cossack rider on horseback. The Cossacks were the mounted cavalry of the Russian Empire, and their appearance on an American magazine cover reflected how much public attention the Russian army drew in the war's early months. Illustrated weeklies like Collier's were a major way Americans followed the conflict, and covers of this kind often combined dramatic imagery with the sense of a distant war reaching home readers.
