label: Description (Brief)
content: This print was produced by Frederick Gleason (1814-1896). a lithographer and publisher in Boston, Massachusetts. Born in September 1814 in Germany, Gleason moved to the United States in October 1836, and began his career as a bookbinder. He became a citizen in June 1840. He is best known for establishing the popular illustrated weekly <i>Gleason's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion</i> in 1851, modelled on the Illustrated <i>London News.</i> At the time an innovation in American publishing, it brought him considerable success. After the Pictorial, Gleason published <i>Gleason's Literary Companion</i> from 1860–70; <i>Gleason's Home Circle</i> from 1871–90; and <i>Gleason's Monthly Companion</i> from 1872–87. He was married a second time after his first wife died, and he died November 6, 1896 in Boston.
