A boy's magazine that was a cross between the American Boys' Life or American Boy and Mechanics Illustrated. Early issues measured 16" by 10½". Somewhere in the fall of 1937 they became 14" by 10¼". There were at least two title changes. In late 1940 it became Modern Wonders and then in March of 1941 it became Modern World. Early covers were brightly colored affairs featuring machines in action. Towards the end covers became monochrome photographs concentrating on military matters. There was also a full color centerfold of a cross section of a machine or some military theme. Interior illustrations were usually black and white.

True to its name, the main focus of this zine was art: many reproductions of paintings, sketches, and photographic studies. Articles on artists, art movements, decorative arts. However, also features travelogues, "Mysteries of a Sultan's Palace", etc.

As to fiction: Most obviously, the issues of 1895 are busy serializing "Victor Hugo's JEAN VALJEAN (condensed by Ernest Ingersoll)". But there are also many poems and other pieces of fiction, including for example another serial THE RECTOR OF RADBOURNE by Henry Mann the educator?. Even the shrunken issue for Dcemember 1896 has not eliminated the fiction, but includes at least "The Feminine Monde" by Edwardes sic Dawson.

I'm not aware this published much fiction, certainly not in its early days, though probably after 1826 when it adopted the sub-title "British register of literature, science and belles lettres." It serialized novels by G. W. M. Reynolds in the 1830s. Its title explains why we have a "New" Monthly Magazine so early.
