"Godey's Lady's Book, alternatively known
as Godey's Magazine and Lady's Book, was a United States magazine which was
published in Philadelphia. It was the most widely circulated magazine in
the period before the Civil War. Its circulation rose from 70,000 in the
1840s to 150,000 in 1860. In the 1860s Godey's considered itself the "queen
of monthlies"."
"The magazine was published by Louis A.
Godey from Philadelphia for 48 years (1830–1878). Godey intended to
take advantage of the popularity of gift books, many of which were marketed
specifically to women. Each issue contained poetry, articles, and engravings
created by prominent writers and other artists of the time. Sarah Josepha
Hale (author of "Mary Had a Little Lamb") was its editor from 1837 until
1877 and only published original, American manuscripts. Although the magazine
was read and contained work by both men and women, Hale published three special
issues which only included work done by women."
"The magazine is best known for the hand-tinted
fashion plate that appeared at the start of each issue, which provide a record
of the progression of women's dress. Publisher Louis Godey showed off that
in 1859, it cost $105,200 to produce the Lady's Book, with the coloring of
the fashion-plates costing $8,000. Almost every issue also included an
illustration and pattern with measurements for a garment to be sewn at home.
A sheet of music for piano provided the latest waltz, polka or
galop."
