Hertfordshire Illustrated Review

1893

Published by Messers F. G. Kitton, Truman Press & Arthur Smith, Victoria Street, St Albans, and Elliot Stock, 62 Paternoster Row, London E.C.

Printed by Paternoster Steam Press, 11 Ivy Lane, London E.C. and Gibbs and Bamforth, Market Place, St Albans.

This magazine was published at monthly intervals starting in January 1893, and each issue contained some contemporary Hertfordshire news, articles of local historical interest, a short story set in a Hertfordshire context, and a few general interest items unconnected with the county. Many of the articles were illustrated by line drawings or photographs. At the front and the back there were a small number of advertisements.

At the end of 1893 an index was published and at least some sets were bound, but without the advertisements. The bound Volume I (from which the above publication information comes) contains viii + 790 pages and 360 illustrations.

Kelly's 1894 directory states the the Review was published quarterly on 14th March, June, September and December. The proprietors were given as F. G. Kitton, Truman Press & Arthur Smith the publisher was T. Press. I have seen no evidence that any issues were published in 1894 and it is interesting to note the the British Library only holds copies of issues numbers 2-10 of 1893.
