Created for working-class readers and sold for just one penny, it achieved remarkable early success with 200,000 copies sold in its first year. Filled with wood-engraved illustrations and educational content, the magazine aimed to spread knowledge to audiences with limited literacy. However, its serious tone and expensive production costs eventually led to declining readership, forcing price increases that undermined its original mission of accessibility.
