midgemeg Posted 15 January , 2008 Share Posted 15 January , 2008 I have three bound Vols. of this WW1 publication plus a few odd copies. My highest number is 72 (Dec 1915) and I have seen numbers as high as 90+. Did it continue to the end of the war and did it keep to the horizontal format?

Publisher/year [s.l.] : Illustrated London News and Sketch, 1914-1916. Contents vols 1-8. Title The Illustrated war news : Being a pictorial record of the great War. Publisher/year [s.l.] : Illustrated London News and Sketch, 1917-1918. Contents vols 2, 4, 7 and 8 New Series. Others may know about the format of later issues.

Simon Jones Posted 15 January , 2008 Share Posted 15 January , 2008 It finished up portrait format and ceased publication about mid-1918 with an announcement that it was due to the paper shortage. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
