Under the editorship of Charles Kains Jackson, 1888–94, The Artist and Journal of Home Culture contained a notable undercurrent of homoeroticism and had some importance in the homosexual subculture without being so overt as to alienate its mainstream readership.[2][3] Described by scholar Thomas Waugh as a "closet pedophile" publication, it featured Uranian poetry and photographs of boys by Wilhelm von Gloeden.[4]
