The Ladies’ Home Journal – October Cover - (c.1895)

By the late 19th century, The Ladies’ Home Journal had become one of the most widely read magazines in the United States, shaping the domestic ideals of the middle class. This 1895 cover represents the journal’s embrace of contemporary design movements, particularly Art Nouveau, and signals the publication’s investment in elevating both aesthetic taste and moral instruction. Published by the Curtis Publishing Company in Philadelphia, the Journal played a critical role in constructing gender norms and promoting the “cult of domesticity” through imagery that aligned women with nature, beauty, and seasonal cycles.
