The Century Magazine (December 1911)



The Century Magazine (December 1911)
"Marley's Ghost Appearing to Scrooge"
Illustrator: S.J. Woolf

We hang around the early part of the twentieth century long enough to stop in 1911 for the Christmas issue of "The Century Magazine"

In among the various holiday content is the awesome painting by S.J. Woolf, entitled "Marley's Ghost Appearing to Scrooge."




It appears that it's a one-off for the magazine, but it's really cool!

This issue of "The Century" looks ahead to 1912. Just for perspective, 1912 saw, among other events, the founding of the Girl Scouts, the sinking of the Titanic, the opening of Fenway Park and the election of Woodrow Wilson.

 An eventful year!
