A selection of old magazine covers

[custom_adv]


The earliest example of magazines was Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, a literary and philosophy magazine, which was launched in 1663 in Germany. The Gentleman’s Magazine, first published in 1731 in London was the first general-interest magazine. Edward Cave, who edited The Gentleman’s Magazine under the pen name “Sylvanus Urban”, was the first to use the term “magazine”, on the analogy of a military storehouse.[8] Founded by Herbert Ingram in 1842, The Illustrated London News was the first illustrated weekly news magazine.
