🗞️ HARPER'S WEEKLY · May 9, 1891 Complete Issue · New York ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A collector's issue of genuine artistic significance — a full-page reproduction of John Singer Sargent's celebrated portrait "Beatrice Goelet" (1890), cataloged in the Yale University Press authoritative Sargent catalogue raisonné; Carnegie Music Hall on the occasion of its opening; two Columbian Exposition buildings; the Grant Memorial groundbreaking; and a full page of horses from ranch to market. One of the most artistically significant issues in the 1891 Harper's Weekly run. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎨 JOHN SINGER SARGENT — "PORTRAIT OF MISS BEATRICE GOELET" ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🖼️ FULL PAGE — "PORTRAIT OF MISS BEATRICE GOELET" BY JOHN S. SARGENT A full-page reproduction of John Singer Sargent's celebrated 1890 portrait of Beatrice Goelet — cataloged as no. 239 in Richard Ormond and Elaine Kilmurray's authoritative "John Singer Sargent: Complete Paintings, Volume 2: Portraits of the 1890s" (Yale University Press, 2002), the definitive scholarly reference for Sargent's work. The original oil on canvas (162.6 × 86.3 cm) shows young Beatrice in an elaborate dress with a pink and blue cockatoo in a gilded cage beside her, her hands clasped in a formal pose against a dark background that focuses all attention on her delicate features and richly textured dress. The painting was formerly in the collection of Robert Goelet and his family until 1941 and is now held in a private collection. Sargent painted Beatrice's mother May Wilson Goelet as part of the same commission, making this one of the most socially prestigious portrait commissions of the Gilded Age — the Goelets were one of the wealthiest families in New York, their fortune built on Manhattan real estate. This Harper's Weekly reproduction is the primary published document of the Sargent Beatrice Goelet portrait — the actual pages on which this painting was introduced to the American public. An original print — not a reproduction — of a work documented in the Yale University Press catalogue raisonné of Sargent's paintings. A significant piece of American fine art history and Gilded Age social history. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎵 CARNEGIE MUSIC HALL ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎵 FULL PAGE — "THE CARNEGIE MUSIC HALL" A full-page illustration of Carnegie Music Hall — Carnegie Hall, which had just opened on May 5, 1891, just four days before this issue, with Tchaikovsky himself conducting at the inaugural concert. This is the first or one of the first Harper's Weekly illustrations of Carnegie Hall published after its opening. A primary document of one of the great cultural institutions of New York City at the moment of its birth. A significant piece of American musical and architectural history. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏛️ THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏛️ FULL PAGE — "THE AGRICULTURAL BUILDING, COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION" A full-page illustration of the Agricultural Building being designed for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition — a significant piece of Chicago architectural and World's Fair history at its planning stage. 🏛️ TWO-THIRDS PAGE — "THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION" A two-thirds page illustration of the Administration Building — one of Daniel Burnham's most celebrated neoclassical designs for the White City, its golden dome becoming one of the defining images of the 1893 Fair. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🖼️ INSIDE THE ISSUE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎖️ FRONT PAGE — "THE REV. PHILLIPS BROOKS, D.D., BISHOP ELECT OF MASSACHUSETTS" A full front-page portrait of Phillips Brooks — the beloved rector of Trinity Church Boston, author of the Christmas carol "O Little Town of Bethlehem," and newly elected Bishop of Massachusetts. Brooks was one of the most celebrated preachers in America, and his election as Bishop was a major religious event. A significant piece of American religious history. 🗿 HALF PAGE — "BREAKING GROUND FOR THE GRANT MEMORIAL" A half-page illustration of the groundbreaking for the General Grant National Memorial in New York — the tomb that would be completed in 1897 on Riverside Drive, the largest mausoleum in North America. A significant piece of Civil War memorial history. 🐴 FULL PAGE — "THE HORSES — FROM RANCH TO MARKET" A full-page illustration tracing horses from ranch to market — a vivid piece of American agricultural and Western history. 👧 FULL PAGE — "THE CHILDREN'S PUBLIC PLAY GROUNDS" A full-page illustration of public playgrounds for children — a significant piece of Victorian urban reform and child welfare history. 🐎 HALF PAGE — "IMPORTED PERCHERON" A half-page illustration of an imported Percheron draft horse — a vivid piece of American agricultural and horse breeding history. 💥 QUARTER PAGE — "BOMBARDMENT OF PISAGUA, CHILE" A quarter-page illustration of the bombardment of Pisagua during the Chilean Civil War — continuing Harper's Weekly's coverage of the South American conflict. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 CONDITION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I photograph every page of every issue so you can inspect the condition closely before purchasing.
