Spawn

Publication, Distribution, Etc. (Imprint)

E. Orange, N.J. : published cooperatively by the contributors, c1917

General

Printed on back cover of v.1 no.3: "Spawn is the embodiment of an idea and is cooperative in the strictest sense of the word. Each man pays for his page and is absolutely responsible for what goes on it. Spawn is a magazine in name only; its real object is the publication in portfolio form of reproductions of drawings and paintings of artists. It has no axe to grind or propaganda to propound. Its sole purpose is to reach an audience of picture lovers and to interest those who appear apathetic and display little or no interest in pictures, in short, a traveling exhibition. We feel that there is a place for such a publication and ask you to help us find it. The originals of all contributions are available and prices can be had upon application."
