Frank Leslie's Weekly, originally known as Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, was a leading American illustrated news magazine published between 1852 and 1922. Its pioneering use of mass-market reproduction techniques--wood engravings, then daguerrotypes and other photography--made it able to bring visual news to the masses at a remarkably fast speed for the time period. This large-scale print, made relatively early in the newspaper's life, demonstrates the ambitions that drove its production from the start.
