Five issues later it was time for jubilation: "Probably in the whole annals of Newspaper History the triumphant success of 'The Illustrated London News' is without a parallel; it has received from the public a welcome warmer and wider than we could anticipated even in the buoyant enthusiasm of our first ambition. From the length and breadth of the Empire we have received the most flattering testimonials." The present volume contains all first 34 issues and a Supplement. Each issue is stamped at bottom with the legendary red Tax Stamp. Also present is Issue no. 15 a rare collectible in itself which appeared with the erroneous header "No. 10 July 16" instead of "No. 15 August 20". It is neatly corrected here by contemporary hand.
