''Scribner's Magazine'' was an American periodical published by the publishing house of Charles Scribner's Sons from January 1887 to May 1939. ''Scribner's Magazine'' was the second magazine out of the "''Scribner's''" firm, after the publication of ''Scribner's Monthly''. Charles Scribner's Sons spent over $500,000 setting up the magazine, to compete with the already successful ''Harper's Monthly'' and ''Atlantic Monthly''. ''Scribner's Magazine'' was launched in 1887, and was the first of any magazine to introduce color illustrations. The magazine ceased publication in 1939. The magazine contained many engravings by famous artists of the 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as many famous authors of that time, including John Thomason, Elisabeth Woodbridge Morris and Clarence Cook, as well as President Theodore Roosevelt. The magazine had high sales when Roosevelt started contributing, reaching over 200,000, but gradually lost circulation after World War I. ==History== ''Scribner's Magazine'' was the second periodical publication of the "''Scribner's''" firm, after ''Scribner's Monthly'' was published from 1870 to 1881. ''Scribner's Monthly'' was later moved to another publisher, and was renamed ''The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine''. Charles Scribner announced to a ''Times'' reporter that they would make a new monthly publication "as soon as the necessary arrangements could be perfected." It was also announced that the editor would be Edward Burlingame, the son of Anson Burlingame, who was already connected to the publishing house as literary adviser. Charles Scribner also noted that the magazine would not be a revival of the formerly published ''Scribner's Monthly''. Charles Scribner's Sons spent over $500,000 in launching ''Scribner's Magazine'' (the second of the ''Scribner's'' series), to complete with the already successful pictorials, ''Atlantic Monthly'' and ''Harper's Magazine''. Edward L. Burlingame hired the best artists in his country for the magazine; Howard Pyle, Howard Chandler Christy, Charles Marion Russell, Walter Everett, Maxfield Parrish and Frederic Remington.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAscribners.htm )〕 Before the first issue was released, Charles Scribner's Sons had their first annual ''Scribner's Magazine'' dinner held at their main offices. ''Scribner's Magazine'' was launched in January 1887, the first issue of which was to be published from January to June of that year. The magazine was printed and bound by Trow's Printing and Bookbinding Company. ''Scribner's Magazine'' was also the first magazine to introduce color illustrations later on.〔 The first issue opens with the literary article "''The Downfall to the Empire.''" by E.B. Washburne, the former minister to France. An early morning fire on the Charles Scribner's Sons offices heavily burned the third and fourth floors the home of which the ''Scribner's Magazine'' was made in 1908. In May 1914, the magazine's editor, Edward L. Burlingame retired and Robert Bridges took over as editor of the publication.〔 (Bridges was a lifelong close friend of President Woodrow Wilson ever since the two had met as students at Princeton University.) During the first World War, ''Scribner's Magazine'' employed authors, Richard Harding Davis, Edith Wharton and John Galsworthy, to write about the major conflict. During the time of 1917, when the United States joined the war, the magazine had four to six articles on the subject.〔 On the date of November 19, 1922 the first editor of the magazine, Edward L. Burlingame died. On January 1928 the magazine had a change in format, with the first of the newly formatted issue having a cover design by Rockwell Kent.〔 The June issue of 1929 was banned in Boston, Massachusetts due to the article ''A Farewell to Arms'' by Ernest Hemingway. The article was deemed salacious by the public and Boston police barred the magazine from book stands. Charles Scribner's Sons issued the statement that: In 1930 the magazine's editor, Robert Bridges, retired to become a literary adviser for the firm and associate editor Alfred S. Deshiell became the "managing editor" of ''Scribner's Magazine''. By January 1932, the magazine had a second change in format, making it much larger. On October 1936, Harlan D. Logan took over as editor from Alfred S. Dashiell, who went on to edit ''Reader's Digest''. Yet again, on October 1936, the magazine went through a third change of design. In 1938, the magazine was bought from Charles Scribner's Sons and started to be published by Harlan Logan Associates, who still retained an interest.〔 In May 1939, the magazine ceased publication due to low circulation compared to ''Harper's Monthly'' and ''Atlantic Monthly''.〔〔 The magazine was then merged with the pictorial ''Commentator'', to become ''Scribner's Commentator'' on November 1939.〔 ''Scribner's Commentator'' also ceased publication in 1942 after one of the magazine's staff pleaded guilty to taking payoffs from the Japanese government, in return for publishing propaganda promoting United States isolationism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scribner's Magazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
