Created for working-class readers and sold for just one penny, this weekly magazine featured wood-engraved illustrations alongside articles of "useful knowledge." It achieved remarkable early success, reaching 200,000 copies sold in its first year with nearly one million readers. However, its educational approach proved too dry for its intended audience, while production costs for illustrations eventually strained its finances, leading to its eventual decline.
