Peterson’s Lady’s National Magazine

Peterson’s Magazine, published from 1848 to 1891, was another VERY popular fashion magazine in the mid to late 19th century. And another great resource for researching historical fashions of the day. Below is a year-by-year index of issues I have found online, that are available for FREE.

Not as many out there as Godey’s, and I haven’t been able to find EVERY issue yet. But I hope you find this helpful!
