Collier (1876–1918) were the men behind publishing giant Peter F. Collier & Son, and their organization ranked among America’s most prestigious firms. Collier’s Weekly, which appeared in various forms from 1888 through 1957, was at the forefront of new publishing technologies, such as the use of halftone images, and was noted for its fiction and investigative journalism.

This volume presents the best color and black-and-white images from two rare portfolios, originally printed in 1908 and 1914.
