Created for working-class readers and sold for just one penny, this ambitious magazine featured wood-engraved illustrations alongside educational articles. It achieved remarkable early success, reaching 200,000 copies in its first year with an estimated readership of nearly one million. However, its dry, non-controversial content and the high cost of producing illustrations eventually challenged its survival in an increasingly competitive market.
