This is an original but USED vintage newspaper not a scan and not a later re-print. The Illustrated London News was a magazine founded by Herbert Ingram with the first edition of the Illustrated London News appearing on 14 May 1842. The four digit number in brackets in title is for my ref only.
Sixteen pages (32sides). It measures 365 x 260 mm (14.25 x 10.25). The front and back outer advertising cover is detached down spine and main paper (I have popped these two pages inside the main paper). There is a little age yellowing. Some of the pages have handling marks, blemishes due to their great age. There are a few small tears to edges of pages. The images, photos, drawings etc. vary in size. 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 no pages missing, but if you are looking for something in particular in this issue PLEASE ASK. The process of the page numbering in the ILN run on from previous issues and therefore do not start at number 1.

"Info." in the description is my research, although relevant to the accompanying image or article, is not necessarily in the text.
