The Golden Age of American Illustration.
In the 1880s American illustration entered a period that is generally regarded as its Golden Age. This happened because of the convergence of a number of factors:
New printing techniques were being developed,
paper production was becoming cheaper,
railways facilitated distribution throughout the continent, and the
population was expanding and becoming wealthier as industrialization progressed.
National magazines such as Harper’s Monthly, Collier’s, and Scribner’s took advantage of all these circumstances to build enormous circulations—and they needed artwork for their pages. Meanwhile, publishers of illustrated books, particularly children’s books, also found that the new techniques and new markets could make their enterprises highly profitable.
