ARTIST Winslow Homer's Magazine Engravings By ; Philip Beam genre prints from Harper's Weekly
Newspapers like Harper's Weekly, Ballou's Pictorial, Every Saturday, etc., were filled each week with woodblock illustrations by many of the leading American artists of the last half of the nineteenth century. Now-famous painters like Winslow Homer gained early experience as staff artists on the Civil War battlefield, providing sketches that were published as contemporaneous views of battles, soldiers and scenes. These pictures provided the most widely circulated eye-witness illustrations of the war, and thus were the most common means by which Americans could view the events and persons of the tragic conflict. Also of great interest are the genre scenes drawn by leading American artists, many of whom got their first chance to succeed through such weekly papers. Again, Winslow Homer's work shines through, displaying his talent for sympathetically capturing people in distinctive land- and seascapes. Examples of Homer's work in papers like Harper's are now beginning to be appreciated not only as decorative and affordable, but also as historically significant for collectors.
The following prints are all wood engravings Winslow Homer. They are uncolored and on full sheets as originally issued, unless otherwise noted. All are in EXCELLENT VERY GOOD CONDITIONING. except as noted. Numbers preceded by "B" refer to the prints listed in the book Winslow Homer's Magazine Engravings print By Philip Beam
Winslow Homer Original Wood Engravings
Below are pictures of Winslow Homer wood engravings. Most of these were published in Harper's Weekly where Homer worked as a free lance illustrator between 1857 and 1876 before his career as a painter was fully launched. Some of his best engravings were also published in the now forgotten publication Every Saturday. His watercolors and oils now sell for millions of dollars and are mostly in museums.
The author of books on Winslow Homer's paintings at Prout's Neck ("Winslow Homer in the 1890's: Prout's Neck Observed") and his wood engravings ("Winslow Homer's Magazine Engravings"), Philip C. Beam, notes that Homer was the "leading designer of wood engravings of his day, and that many of the engravings are now loved and admired as masterpieces of their kind" and that "At their best they rank with his watercolors and oils for style and beauty."
Beam notes that Homer's wood engraving possess a "coherent character and appeal of their own, and offer a valuable view of American life." Moreover, Winslow Homer
had his finger on the pulse of American life and his eye on the American scene in an unexcelled fashion during a vibrant and important time in our national life, the years just before and after the Civil War...For insights into what people felt and did on street corners, in parks, on battlefields, or in backyards, as the times moved along, there are few better sources of our visible history.

That is one of the reasons these prints have found their place in the History Gallery. Another is that they are lovely engravings many of which capture the bucolic ambiance of bygone days and are relaxing and pleasing to contemplate.
