Image description

Shelfmark: Evan.8118. When taxes on cheap periodicals were withdrawn in the 1840s, Herbert Ingram published this attractive, illustrated, weekly magazine. It was aimed at the working classes, who would not have been able to afford a daily newspaper. The first 16-page edition was published on 14 May 1842, cost sixpence, and included 32 woodcut illustrations. This first edition sold about 26,000 copies, making it an immediate success. This flyer advertises a portrait commemorating the death of the Earl of Iddesleigh.
