Title

Lithograph Stone

Description

The writer Zoe Anderson Norris (1860-1914) published portraits of herself in her bimonthly magazine, The East Side (1909-1914), focused on impoverished immigrants. She wrote every word and granted herself all masthead titles, from bootblack to “the whole shebang.” Her illustrator, William Oberhardt (1882-1958), later renowned for Time magazine covers (descendants have donated his archive to the New-York Historical Society), made this lithograph stone and proof for her portrait in the March/April 1913 issue.
