Can anyone very kindly help? I'm trying to locate a copy of an obscure 19th century American art journal: "The Studio. Devoted to Art, Artists, and Their Friends." Vol. II. No. 41. Published in New York, October 13, 1883. Just need to look up a reproduction of a painting in the journal.

Known too as the Long Night Moon or the Moon Before Yule, it lifts into the deepening dark as we head toward the year’s longest nights.
It will be the last supermoon of 2025.
