• The Illustrated Times was a British weekly newspaper published from 1855 to 1872. It was created by bookseller David Bogue and edited by Henry Vizetelly to rival the wildly successful Illustrated London News. The publication featured high-quality wood engravings that documented all facets of Victorian life, disasters, and news
  
  

This was fairly soon after the time of the time of the IRISH POTATO FAMINE By 1857, the immediate devastation was transitioning into an era of massive emigration, fundamentally reshaping the demographics and political landscape of Ireland and Britain Which led to a rise in the 'Fenian Movement, and calls for Home Rule

Britain was, at this time, at WAR WITH BOTH CHINA AND PERSIA (IRAN)

This came to me in a bound volume of the year's magazines, which, unfortunately, had too much damage to the spine and cover to sell as a whole – It seemed a shame to throw these papers away, particularly as they have some marvellous etchings of early Victorian life. Hence, I have removed them from the volume and am selling them at a low start price.
