EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Illustrated Journalism (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the world of illustrated journalism. The image showcases a bustling scene from the offices of the Illustrated London News, dated 30 August 1879. In this snapshot of history, we see women at work in various roles within the magazine industry. They are busy distributing and placing freshly printed copies onto wagons for transportation across Victorian London. The atmosphere is vibrant as workers diligently hitch and couple these wagons, ensuring that readers all over the city can enjoy their favorite publications. The significance of this engraving lies not only in its portrayal of female involvement in journalism during a time when gender roles were more rigidly defined but also in highlighting W. H. Smith's popular publishing empire. This iconic company played a crucial role in making magazines accessible to a wider audience through their distribution network. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported to an era where illustrated journalism was at its peak and print media held immense power and influence over society. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for modern-day journalism and women's participation within it.
