Munsey's Magazine, June 1895

# Munseys Magazine (June, Volume XIII)

This issue features two main departments: "Artists and Their Work," a gallery and studio review, and "Our Veteran Authors," celebrating living American writers of an earlier generation.

The "Artists and Their Work" section discusses the National Academy of Design's 70th exhibition, praising its range. It covers individual painters including Henry Mosler, Louis P. Dessar, and Thomas Moran—a landscape painter and versatile artist from a remarkable family of four artistic brothers. The section also notes criticisms of art authentication and reproduction quality, discusses painter Seymour Thomas's acclaimed work "An Innocent Victim" (depicting a nun's death during the Franco-German War, exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair), and covers emerging talent Percy Ives from Detroit, who recently painted President Cleveland at the White House.

"Our Veteran Authors" highlights 19th-century writers still living, including Dr. Thomas Dunn English, author of the famous song "Ben Bolt" (1819 birth), and Dr. Samuel F. Smith, composer of "America," both representatives of America's early literary tradition.
