The Land of Sunshine was a magazine published in Los Angeles, California, between 1894 and 1923.[1]: 51 [2] It was renamed Out West in January 1902.[1]: 66 [3] In 1923, it merged into Overland Monthly to become Overland Monthly and Out West Magazine, which existed until 1935.[1]: 51 The magazine published the work of many notable authors, including John Muir, Jack London, Mary Hunter Austin, Sharlot Hall, Grace Ellery Channing, and Sui Sin Far (Edith Maude Eaton).[2][4]: 117 [5] The Land of Sunshine was also known for its "lavish" use of illustrations, many of which were halftone photoengravings.[1]: 53 In the words of Jon Wilkman, the magazine "extolled the wonders of Southern California and had a major influence on the region’s early image and appeal to tourists".[6]
