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" was a weekly illustrated British magazine published from 1832 to 1845. Created by Charles Knight to educate the working class, it sold for just one penny and featured wood-engraved illustrations on every page. Initially wildly successful with 200,000 copies sold, it reached nearly one million readers in its first year. However, its earnest, educational tone and lack of entertaining stories ultimately proved too dry for its intended audience, leading to financial difficulties and eventual decline.
