ANTIQUE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS MAGAZINES
8 ISSUES FROM 1946 + BONUS 1946 SPHERE ISSUE
Lots of military and variety news and amazing photos!
The Illustrated London News was the world's first illustrated weekly news magazine. The first issue appeared on Saturday 14 May 1842.
It was published weekly until 1971 and then increasingly less frequently until publication ceased in 2003.
These magazines are becoming increasingly rare. Do not let this chance slip by!
Included in this lot are 8 issues from 1946, namely March 16, 30, June 8, 13, 22, July 6, 20 and November 9. I am also including a copy of the March 2 1946 issue of The Sphere news magazine as a bonus.
The magazines contain articles on a wide range of subjects, from daily British news to military issues, arts, culture, and news from all over the world. Of course there are some post WWII news as well.
Every issue contain hundreds of black and white and monochrome photos and explanatory sketches.
Whether you're a history buff, militaria collector, war fanatic or simply have a passion for old books, these magazines will be an excellent addition to your collection.
As pictured the magazines are in a very good condition. The Sphere issue is wrapped in plastic and is in even better condition.
You may find slight damaged areas here and there and a loose page or two but as far as we could determine there are no missing pages or major tears or stains. There may be a minor scribble or two but they are few and far between.
They magazines measure 37cm x 26cm with the Sphere being slightly smaller.
Please have a good look at the images to verify condition. Any questions welcome!
Below are some images of the covers and below that images of the subject matter.
