HEARD AROUND THE WORLD- LESLIE'S WEEKLY

10

This is an original 1918 cover from Leslie’s Weekly, published during the final year of World War I. The magazine was known for its political content and detailed illustrations, especially its “War in Pictures” features that showed people what was happening overseas in a really direct, visual way. Pieces like this were a big part of how Americans understood the war at the time, so it’s not just artwork but it is also a snapshot of how news and opinions were shared during a major moment in history. Since 1918 was such a turning point, both for the war and for print media, this cover reflects the intensity of that period and the role publications like Leslie’s Weekly played in shaping public perception. The listing is for the cover art only, not the full magazine. Because of its age, there’s some expected wear like yellowing, small marks or stains, and some edge wear or minor paper loss.
