Description: Illustrated London News Single-Page A3#20 Jul. 1864 Calcutta Agricultural Show This is an authentic page taken from an antique issue of "Illustrated London News" dated July 2, 1864. History depicted in engravings from Illustrated Antique Weeklies- From the mid 1800's to the turn of the century, even before many could read, the extremely popular illustrated newspapers such as Harper's Weekly, Frank Leslie's Illustrated, and Illustrated London News pictured the news and events of the times. Special artist-correspondents were present at the event to accurately sketch the scene as it was making history. These sketches were rushed to the East Coast publishers whereby skilled artisans engraved them on wood blocks. Within a week after the event the printed illustrated newspapers were in the public's hands. Today their value to collectors is twofold: as historically accurate records, and as exquisitely engraved works of art.
