This digital archive covers the advent of commercial lifestyle publishing in Britain, charting the rise of modern magazine culture. The series acts as a barometer of literacy and social mobility in the 1800s with a focus on the rarely documented aspects of women, children, humour, and leisure activity in the Victorian age. This series draws from the remarkable collections of the British Library, National Library of Scotland, National Library of Australia, and National Library of South Africa.
