Growth of Magazine Illustration.

From 324 illustrations in 1894 to
over 1900 in 1900 are the figures which
denote the numerical growth and de-
velopment of the pictorial features in
The Ladies' Home Journal ia six
years. This 400 per cent. increase in
numbers is rather dwarfed by the fact
that nearly 1000 per cent. more space
is now given to pictures than six
years ago, and that the quality or
artistic value, OF the illustrations has
improved beyond computation. a
few years ago magazine making was
thought by some to have attained a
degree of perfection that precluded
further advancement, but it seems to
have been in its infancy. The read
ing public now insists upon illustra-
tiOns, and in meeting that demand it
is safe to say that the pictures printed
in the Ladies Home Journal in 1900
exceed in number, size, quality and
cost those published in all the leading
magazines ten years ago.
