The Baltimore Saturday Visiter1 was a weekly periodical in Baltimore, Maryland that published much of the work of Baltimore writer Edgar Allan Poe. It was established in 1832 by Charles Cloud and Lambert Wilmer, a friend of Poe. Popular at first, the Visiter later became abolitionist and in 1847 was absorbed by the abolitionist National Era of Washington D.C.
Among Poe's contributions to the Visiter was his short story "MS. Found in a Bottle" which in 1833 won him the Visiter's fifty dollar prize for best tale.
