Historical note:
Published from 1857 to 1916, the original Harper's Weekly ("Journal of Civilization"), distinguished itself by criticizing New York's corrupt Tammany Hall (via the cartoons of Thomas Nast) and by publishing numerous lithographs that documented the progress of the Civil War. Revived briefly as a granola-scented broadsheet in the 1970s, the Weekly was more successfully relaunched in 2000.
