on his deathbed, in the January 25, 1873 edition.]] ''The Illustrated London News'' was a Magazine founded by Herbert Ingram and his friend Mark Lemon , the editor of the magazine '' Punch ''. With Lemon as his chief adviser, the first edition of the Illustrated London News appeared on 14 May , 1842 . Costing Sixpence , the magazine had sixteen pages and thirty-two Woodcuts . The first edition included pictures of the war in Afghanistan , a train crash in France , a Steamboat explosion in Canada and a fancy dress ball at Buckingham Palace . Although 26,000 copies of the first number were disposed of, there was a great falling off in the sale of the second and subsequent numbers. Herbert Ingram, however, was determined to make his property a success, and one that is still spoken of as a brilliant stroke of journalistic enterprise. He sent to every Clergyman in the country a copy of the number containing illustrations of the installation of the Archbishop Of Canterbury , and by this means secured many new subscribers. The magazine was published weekly until 1971, when it became a monthly. From 1989, it was published bi-monthly, then quarterly and currently bi-annually. {Link without Title} The ''Illustrated London News'' exists today as the Illustrated London News Group.
