Illustrated Police News. The Shocks, Scandals and Sensations of the Week 1864-1938, Hardback/Linda Stratmann

The Illustrated Police News provided an affordable illustrated roundup of `all the startling events of the week' from its first issue published on 20th February 1864. Led by the newspaper's bombastic imagery from the Library's archive, this new book revels in the infamy and social significance behind the exuberant headlines of this periodical.
