Gleason's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion was a 19th-century illustrated periodical published in Boston, Massachusetts, from 1851 to 1859. The magazine was founded by Frederick Gleason in 1851.[1] The publication name was changed to Ballou's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion for 1855, after managing editor Maturin Murray Ballou bought out the interest of Gleason. The first issue as Ballou's was 6 January 1855. The magazine absorbed the Illustrated News of New York in 1853. It ceased publication in 1859.[1]
The Pictorial featured artists such as Winslow Homer, and authors such as Giddings H. Ballou, Susan H. Blaisdell, Alice Carey, Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., Sophronia Currier, Mrs. S. P. Doughty, Francis A. Durivage, Aglaus Forrester, Mrs. H. C. Gardner, Joseph Holt Ingraham, Grace Lee, Mary A. Lowell, Mary L. Meany, Ellen Alice Moriarty, Arthur Morton, Frances P. Pepperell, Mary E. Robinson, M. V. St. Leon, Frederick Ward Saunders, Sue M. Scott, Maurice Silingsby, Frederick Stanhope, Horace B. Staniford, John Thornberry, Winnie Woodfern, and Joseph Wolf.
