Sep 11, 1915 The Sphere - an Illustrated Newspaper for the Home
The Sphere is unlike the Illustrated London News ( which relied on illustrations by the top artists of the day ) as it relies heavily on superb sharp focus photography, and full page articles / features that concentrate on a specific event / person etc , for some reason the Sphere is exceedingly rare and hard to find outside of reference libraries and private collections, a superb resource for the historian or genealogist due to the historical accuracy and veracity of the photographs present in the large format ( 12 x 16 inch ) news magazines..............
