The Craftsman (magazine)

/

I browsed 49 months of The Craftsman magazine from the early 1900s (December 1903 – December 1907) back in January. They are available from The University of Wisconsin-Madison digital library and are a way to understand the way people were living at the time – a time when my grandparents were born. Some of the styles look “heavy” by today’s standards…but they were built to last from daily use. Some would still fit into a home today. Click on any of the sample images below to see a larger version…and use the links to browse the whole magazine.
