Interesting perspective of the River Thames stretching from Eton to Chatham by The Illustrated London News.
The Illustrated London News was the world's first illustrated weekly news magazine, first published on May 14, 1842, by Herbert Ingram. It was renowned for its extensive use of wood engravings and later photographs to report on a wide range of topics, including politics, arts, science, and royal events. The magazine became a significant platform for graphic artists and was known for its detailed coverage of major historical events. Initially conservative in its political leanings, it evolved over time to include diverse global news and cultural features. The publication transitioned from weekly to monthly in 1971 and eventually ceased in 2003, though the company continues as a publishing and digital agency in London.
