The author, Oliver Coleman is a pseudonym of Eugene Klapp, the founder of the magazine House Beautiful. "Just as nineteenth-century women's service magazines had not hesitated to advocateconcerns over a flurry of issues involving women, children, and families, House Beautiful was launched with an agenda of its own, namely, to tackle the great disparity between the haves andhave-nots in American society, and to attack the excesses of the rich that had so characterized theVictorian era. Founders Eugene Klapp and Henry Blodgett Harvey made it clear from the first issue that while House Beautiful catered to middle- and upper middle-class homeowners, it has far less regard for the wealthiest elite who could afford their own decorators and architects. In December 1896, the magazine's premiere issue stressed homemaking on a budget and moderation in design, telling its readers: "A little money spent with careful thought by people of keen artistic perception will achieve a result that is astonishing. "30 The issue included halftone images of rooms and residential exteriors. Like so many other magazines in the 1890s, it sold for ten cents, with a year-long subscription offered for a dollar. This first "number" (as magazine issues were commonly called well into the first half of the twentieth century) was printed in a compact 6-by-9-inch format, with fifty-two interior pages and a yellowish-brown paper cover wrap."
