Created for Britain's working class and sold for just one penny, it reached 200,000 readers in its first year through affordable pricing and striking wood-engravings. The magazine offered non-radical educational content and extensive illustrations to appeal to an often illiterate audience. Despite early success, its dry presentation and rising production costs eventually undermined its popularity, forcing price increases that alienated its intended readers.
