Under publisher Richard K. Fox, it became the forerunner of the men's lifestyle magazine, the illustrated sports weekly, the girlie/pin-up magazine, the celebrity gossip and scandal column. The National Police Gazette is a legendary American publication that originally ran for over 130 years and invented most of what we take for granted in today's pop-culture journalism. Playboy, Sports Illustrated, Variety, the National Enquirer, Guinness World Records, Life, Esquire, Maxim, crime sheets like The Slammer, plus The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Howard Stern.... The list goes on; the Police Gazette did it first.The magazine was founded by two journalists, Enoch E. Camp, an attorney, and George Wilkes, a transcontinental railroad booster. It began as a chronicler of crime and criminals, intended for consumption by the general public. In 1866, Wilkes and Camp sold the Gazette to George W. Matsell. The editor and proprietor from 1877 until his death in 1922 was Richard Kyle Fox, an immigrant from Ireland.Ostensibly devoted to matters of interest to the police, it was a tabloid-like publication, with lurid coverage of murders, Wild West outlaws, and sport. It was well known for its engravings and photographs of scantily clad strippers, burlesque dancers, and prostitutes, often skirting on the edge of what was legally considered obscenity. For decades it was a staple furnishing of barber shops, where men would peruse it awaiting their turn. Very good condition.
