Description

1847 Illustrated London News HUGE Ireland Famine Wuthering Heights Vanity Fair

A rare mid-19th-century issue of ‘The Illustrated London News’ world's first illustrated weekly news magazine. It was a revolution in journalism and news reporting, enhancing the news with vivid pictures of the events of the day, in an era before extensive travel and limited access to images of the world. The London Illustrated News' success revolutionized news media of its day and brought imitators and competitors: The Illustrated Times, the French L'lllustration, Germany's Illustrierte Zeitung, and America's Harper's Weekly to name a few.

This series of issues from Jan 1847 to December 1847 covers a wide variety of important topics, such as the Great Irish Potato Famine, War in New Zealand, Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte’s ‘Wuthering Heights,’ William Thackeray’s ‘Vanity Fair,’ and other interesting topics including:

The Factory Act (limiting women and children workdays to 10 hours)

Death of Mendelssohn

Great Ardsley Main Colliery disaster

First dental extraction with ether

Full-page printings of music – piano, vocal scores

Games, chess moves

And many more!
