The Illustrated London News Vol. 74 #2073 Zulu War Special (March 8, 1879)
 
The Illustrated London News was the world's first illustrated weekly newspaper; the first issue appeared on Saturday, 14 May 1842. Printer and newsagent Herbert Ingram moved from Nottingham to London in early 1842. Inspired by how the Weekly Chronicle always sold more copies when it featured an illustration, he had the idea of publishing a weekly newspaper that would contain pictures in every edition. By 1863, The Illustrated London News was selling more than 300,000 copies every week, enormous figures in comparison to other British newspapers of the time. The work rose to fame following the publication of the designs for the Crystal Palace in 1851 and of the funeral of the Duke of Wellington.
 
The work is credited with moving illustrations from purely a satirical device in mainstream news to a credible and factual reporting tool, publishing over 750,000 illustrations during its existence. 
 
There is also extensive coverage of the Zulu war and other military conflicts in addition to the sections of sheet music and general newspaper puzzles.
