On This Day November 29

Louis Antoine Godey, the publisher of Godey's Lady's Book, died on November 29, 1878. The largest circulation magazine of its time, Godey's Lady's Book's illustrations not only influenced nineteenth century women's fashions, but would become documents for social historians and prized items for collectors. A publisher also of children's and music journals, Godey was among the first to copyright magazine contents.

Cover from June 1867 issue
