During R. G. Campbell’s 30-year tenure as editor of the  Australian Journal  (1926–1955), he drew on the work of many freelance writers and artists. This article identifies some of the major contributors of cover art and illustrations published during Campbell’s editorship of the  Australian Journal  to provide an expanded view of the cultural networks that converged in the pages of the magazine. Drawing on Campbell’s advice published in  The Australian Writers and Artists' Market , along with his reflections in unpublished autobiographical notes, the article reveals the magazine’s intersections with the commercial and fine art world, particularly the networks of commercial artists who honed their skills in Melbourne’s art schools and artists’ studios during the early to middle decades of the 20th century. Combined with previous research on writers of the popular short story, this article demonstrates the significant position that R. G. Campbell and his  Australian Journal  claimed in mid-20th-century Australian print culture, and it encourages further research into the large network of freelance writers and artists that radiated from the magazine’s Swanston Street offices.
