About This Item
Folio (16" x 11 1/2") laminated mint green colored boards, illustrated. Top hinge cracked, spine somewhat split and torn, chips and wear at extremities, small bookplate on front pastedown, a bit of foxing, some browning and aging, not collated, but issues appear complete. This is a collection of the Illustrated London News that was probably used to promote subscriptions. The date on the tile page indicates 1852, but the actual issues seem to run from June 11, 1842 to May 6, 1843. This volume contains about twenty five issues. While many issues say reprint, these reprints were done around 1852, for what appears some promotional effort. This volume contains some of the earlier issues of this publication, which began in May 1842. It contains some interesting news and illustrations, including a small engraving of a cricket match (p.164), an article on prison reform (October 22, 1842), and catching a whale (p. 388).
