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.
