The 6d family monthly Longman’s Magazine (1882-1905) superseded Fraser’s Magazine (1830-1882) and positioned itself in competition with The Argosy and Temple Bar. Longman’s was edited by Andrew Lang and prominently featured his regular At the Sign of the Ship
column of prose and poetry. The unillustrated contents included reader submissions
and well-known fiction and poetry writers.
