Odamees ('The Spearman') was an illustrated magazine published intermittently in Tartu, Estonia, dealing with cultural life.
The magazine appeared from April to June 1919[1][2] under the title Odamees: kirjanduse, kunsti ja teaduse ajakiri (The Spearman: A Magazine of Literature, Art, and Science) and then from August to October 1919 under the title Odamees: kirjanduslise humoori ja päevasündmuste nädalleht (The Spearman: A Weekly Magazine of Literary Humor and Current Events), and finally from 1922 to 1929 under the title Odamees (The Spearman).[3]
The editor of the first issue of the magazine in 1919 was Friedebert Tuglas,[4] succeeded by August Alle in August that year and followed by Albert Kivikas in 1922, and the editor-in-chief and publisher was Carl Sarap. A total of 40 issues were published.[3] In 1924, Odamehe Suwiste Album (The Spearman Summer Album) was also published.[3][5][6]
The magazine was printed in Berlin by E. Gutnoff's printing house (from 1922 to 1923 no. 5), then in Estonia by the Postimees printing house (1923 nos. 6 and 8, and in 1924 and 1926), by the Heinrich Laakmann printing house (1923 no. 7 and in 1925, as well as the 1924 Summer Album), and by the Eduard Bergmann printing house (from 1927 to 1929).
