Illustrated London News

verkenning

Saturday 14 May 1842 was an important day for journalism, with the publication of the world’s first ever illustrated weekly newspaper – The Illustrated London News. Sixteen pages of world news and events, interspersed with images of, amongst other things, a fire in Hamburg, Queen Victoria’s fancy dress ball, the war in Afghanistan and the latest fashions from Paris

Nice site with many beautiful prints.

    Can I smoke here?

    The invention of the first smoke-free NicStic® “cigarette” avoids the toxic substances generated during conventional smoking (tar, carcinogenic compounds such as hydrazine, chrysene, arsenic, cadmium, benzapyrene, formaldehyde, nitrosamines, etc.) and provides the smoker only with the desired nicotine and flavours.

    Off course.
