Background
"Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly began publishing in 1876. In 1904, it was renamed Leslie's Monthly Magazine, and then Leslie's Magazine in 1905. Later that year (in the middle of volume 60), it was renamed the American Illustrated Magazine, shortening to the American Magazine in 1906. It kept continuous volume numbering throughout its history. The magazine ceased publication in 1956. While no copyright renewals are known for the issues, a number of stories that appeared in the magazine had their copyrights renewed."

This is a notable and uncredited presentation of Joseph Cotten at the outset of his career, as a model for notable illustrator John E. Sheridan in a painting reproduced on the front cover of The American Magazine (September 1931). A cropped b+w version of the illustration appears in Joseph Cotten's autobiography, Vanity Will Get You Somewhere (1987), in a section of photographs appearing between pages 102 and 103.
