When The Cavalier Experimented with Esperanto

In this issue: Esperanto

First, I need to distinguish between two similarly named but unrelated magazines. I’m talking about the earlier one, published by Frank Munsey from 1908 to 1914 (and not the Fawcett men’s magazine, started in 1952). The Munsey The Cavalier was a story magazine. On August 10, 1912, The Cavalier tried an experiment: Esperanto.

On Thursday, August 8, 1912, the Washington Times carried a two-column advertisement from The Cavalier, split into several sections, as if it were part of the news content of the paper. The last of these is titled “An Experiment in Esperanto.”
