The penny magazine of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, issue…
"The penny magazine of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge" is an illustrated British periodical published weekly from 1832 to 1845. Created for working-class readers and sold for just one penny, this ambitious magazine featured wood-engraved illustrations alongside educational articles. It achieved remarkable early success, reaching 200,000 copies in its first year with an estimated readership of nearly one million. However, its dry, non-controversial content and the high cost of
producing illustrations eventually challenged its survival in an increasingly competitive market. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
