Description
In 1841, George Graham combined two magazines he had recently acquired, Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine and The Casket to form Graham’s Magazine. After a slow start, with the editorship and literary talents of Edgar Allan Poe, Graham’s became the most widely circulated magazine in 1840s America. This issue contains the first printing of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic Gothic fiction tale “The Fall of the House of Usher.”
