CONDITION/DIMENSIONS
This is an original USED antique newspaper and not a later re-print. The Illustrated London News was a newspaper founded by Herbert Ingram. The first edition appeared on 14 May 1842 and was the world's first illustrated weekly newspaper.

Twelve pages (24 sides). It measures 400x 283mm (15.75x11inches). The pages/spine are loose. There are binding witness marks to the spine where once bound. There is age yellowing to the pages and some are loose. The pages have minor cuts, tears and blemishes due to their age. The engravings vary in size. Any watermarks on images are for display only and not on the original engravings.

PLEASE NOTE: I cannot guarantee that the issue is complete 'as published' - but what I have described above IS present; as far as I can tell there are FIVE pages missing so if you're looking for something in particular PLEASE ASK. If you require information on the size of articles (i.e. number of words) or images, please ask before bidding or buying. There are no colour images unless otherwise stated. The page numbering in the Illustrated London News carries on from the previous issue and do not start at number 1. The descriptive text in my listing details the content in my words and not necessarily what's written on the original page. "Info." in the description is my research and relevant to the accompanying image or article, although not necessarily in the text/article. This item will be packaged in a tube and sent by Royal Mail Small Parcels, or International Standard Parcel; this is NOT a tracked service (if you require tracking please contact for prices).
