John Townsend Trowbridge

John Townsend Trowbridge is represented in this archive by a single illustrated magazine volume from the 1860s, a period of lively American periodical publishing for young readers. The sheets rely on steel engraving, wood engraving, and color wood engraving, techniques well suited to the mass reproduction of pictures within such publications. The example volume, Our Young Folks, an Illustrated Magazine for Boys and Girls, Vol. III, Nos. I-XII, dates to 1867, and any surviving copies should be understood as impressions up to that year.
