SEE PHOTO----- COMPLETE ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATED NEWSPAPER, the Illustrated London News (England) dated Nov 3, 1906.
Inside page, 7" x 5" illustrated ad for a VACUUM CAP that supposedly grew hair on bald heads !!
The celebrated weekly periodical, the Illustrated London News, was founded by the English bookseller and entrepreneur Herbert Ingram in May 1842. It proved to be a runaway success and soon spawned many imitators and rivals, including Harpers Weekly in the US and the Graphic in the UK. Ingram's formula for success was simple yet inspired. First he recognised that steadily rising literacy levels were creating new mass markets eager for exciting reading matter. Second he sensed that the British Empire's confident presence throughout the world would foster in the minds of the Victorian reading public a voracious appetite for instant news coverage of events both at home and abroad. Victorians were increasingly curious about the world - and those that found reading an unnecessary chore could always look at the pictures anyway!
Ingram contracted the leading artists of the day to provide him with a news magazine unrivalled in its use of pictorial content - maps, charts, woodblock illustrations, photographs, lithographic prints, colourful full page advertisements and so on. The ILN did not concentrate on news stories set in London at all. Whole sections and profusely-illustrated supplements were devoted to subjects and areas as diverse as notable volcanic eruptions (Etna, Krakatoa etc.), the Crimean and the US civil wars, Cyprus and Gibraltar, the rise of the Railways, the glorious Raj and many, many topics besides.
Ever since its first issue on14th May 1842 Illustrated London News has provided the public with a vivid pictorial commentary on domestic and world affairs, giving it a fascinating social history of the last 142 years. Born in the wake of the Industrial Revolution, the ILN retained its position as the leading illustrated paper throughout the 19th century.
