To celebrate the launch of this extraordinary new collection, join our Editor, Nishah Malik, as she dives into the rich visual legacy of The Illustrated London News (ILN) — one of the most iconic publications in British history.
For over 150 years, through detailed illustrations and reporting, the ILN offered readers a visual account of political change, social developments, and international conflicts.
In this video, Nishah explores a snippet of the ILN’s nineteenth century coverage — from harrowing scenes of the Irish Famine, to the spectacle of the Great Exhibition, and the battlefields of Crimea.
In part two, Nishah will take us through the twentieth century.
