<br/><br/> "The penny magazine of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge" is an illustrated British magazine published weekly from 1832 to 1845. Created for working-class readers and sold for just one penny, it reached a circulation of 200,000 in its first year with nearly one million readers. The magazine pioneered affordable wood-engraved illustrations to educate a largely illiterate population. However, its dry, didactic content and rising production costs ultimately undermined its early success, forcing price increases that alienated its intended audience.
