Burr McIntosh Monthly

Country: US
Total Issues: 86

Promoted as a magazine of cheerful wholesome philosophy, it was a calculatedly commercial proposition. The bulk of the publication consisted of pictures (usually beautiful women/actresses) and sentimental mottoes printed on heavy paper and suitable for framing. The pictures were strictly moral, but managed to include a fair amoun of exposed flesh in the way of arms, legs, and carefuly draped breasts.

In its late life it also ran some fiction.

"Claimed to be the biggest boys' paper ever existed, although this was not quite correct, The Boys' Own Picture Gallery 1872 being larger. Quite a good paper containing 8 complete stories every week, plus comic strips in the centre pages. Its most striking feature was its brilliant coloured cover which Newnes hoped, no doubt, would attract many thousands of boys." (W.O.G. Lofts)
