The Knight, Charles 1791-1873 creator text utu 2025 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "The penny magazine of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge" is an illustrated British periodical published from 1832 to 1845. 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.
