# "The Martian" Serial Advertisement This page is primarily **advertising** rather than political satire. The right side promotes a new serial titled "The Martian," written and illustrated by George Du Maurier (author of "Trilby" and "Peter Ibbetson"), beginning in Harper's Magazine for October. The accompanying illustration shows three men in what appears to be a Victorian-era outdoor setting, examining or discussing something together—likely depicting a scene from the serial itself. The left side advertises books from The Macmillan Company and fashion/clothing from Hollanders department store, plus "Urban Dialogues" by Louis E. Shipman with pictures by C.D. Gibson. The page reflects late-19th-century consumer culture rather than political commentary.
