The Illustrated Police News cost just a penny, providing an
affordable illustrated roundup of `all the startling events of the
week' from its first issue published on 20th February 1864.
Promising to educate the people with fantastic features such as
`BURGLARIES OF THE WEEK' and its bountiful, often outlandish,
illustrations, the paper was also a-perhaps unexpected- champion of
social change. With crime historian Linda Stratmann as guide, the
articles and special reports of the newspaper provide a fascinating
view into the reading tastes and daily lives of its readership
throughout the decades. Led by the newspaper's bombastic imagery
sourced from the Library's extensive archive, this new book revels
in the infamy and social significance behind the exuberant
headlines of this extraordinary periodical.
