Life (magazine)

Life has been the name of two notable magazines published in the United States.

Life 1883 - 1930s

The first "Life Magazine" was a weekly humor publication put out by the Life Publishing Company of Manhattan, New York City. It was known for its energetic cartoons, pin up girl art, humorous pieces, and reviews of theater and cinema. By current norms, much of its content seems racist and ethnocentric, frequently playing on stereotypes in cartoon and verse.
