Lot Essay

"Today, June 16, marks an important day in the 109 years' history of The Illustrated London News, for it is the day on which we are moving, together with the other five papers of Illustrated Newspapers, back to the original site of our first office at 198, Strand where illustrated journalism first saw the light of day."
