The Connoisseur (later simply Connoisseur) was originally a British magazine taken to the United States by William Hearst and published from 1901 to 1992 in the US, covering luxury topics such as fine art, collectibles and antique furniture.
It was edited for several years by Herbert Granville Fell,[1] later by L. G. G. Ramsay and later still by Bevis Hillier in England.
Subsequently the new term "to showcase" has gone on to become, along with "iconic", among the most overused marketing expressions in the English language.
The magazine also publishes an Arts and Culture Calendar for global events and Wine and Luxury trade information.
In addition to the UK and European edition, Connoisseur also operates magazine websites in the United States, Asia and Australia.
