# Munsey's Magazine, March 1894

This issue of Munsey's Magazine (Volume X, Number 6) features a diverse mix of literary and artistic content. The centerpiece is C. Stuart Johnson's illustrated article "Modern Artists and Their Work," which surveys contemporary European painters including Hans Makart (whose "Five Senses" allegorical figures are reproduced), Wilhelm Kray, Karl Ooms, and E. Munier. The article traces evolving attitudes toward academic nudity in American art, contrasting modern acceptance with earlier prudish reactions to works like Hiram Powers' "Greek Slave."

Fiction appears throughout: Robert McDonald contributes Part II of the serial novel "The Daughter of Festus Hanks," Frank A. Munsey continues "Derringforth" (Part XIII), William Murray Graydon serializes "In the Name of the Czar: A Tale of Russia" (Part VII), and Imogen Clark provides the short story "The Ducal Butler." Verse includes poems by William R.A. Wilson ("Outside the Casement"), Anna Roseson Brown, Harry Romaine, and George Taggart. Additional pieces cover English novelists, fox hunting, historical biography of George W. Childs, and German operatic legends. The issue includes literary chat, stage commentary, and a sketch of Charles Dickens.
