Munsey's Magazine, Vol. XLVI, No. III

This issue of Munsey's Magazine features "The New Washington," an article by Isaac F. Marcosson on the development of the capital city. The cover photograph shows the John Marshall Statue before the western esplanade of the Capitol, with the building's neoclassical facade visible in the background. Munsey's was among the most widely circulated American magazines of its era, competing with rivals like McClure's and The Saturday Evening Post. Founded in 1889, it combined muckraking journalism, serialized fiction, and illustrated reportage—a format that established templates later adopted by pulp magazines and their successors.
