Created for Britain's working class and sold for just one penny, it featured wood-engraved illustrations to reach both literate and illiterate audiences. Initially achieving remarkable success with 200,000 copies sold, the magazine offered non-radical educational content during a period of social reform. However, its dry tone and expensive production costs eventually led to declining readership, forcing price increases that undermined its original mission of accessible knowledge.
