British Periodicals III British Periodicals III Access information: Access on and off campus. Description: BRITISH PERIODICALS COLLECTION III extends the scope of the series by focusing on the first half of the twentieth century. The titles are from the prestigious stable of illustrated periodicals known as the “Great Eight” in British publishing history. They are among the foremost popular periodicals of the period and were highly influential in their mix of news/politics, miscellany, art, photography, literature and comedy/satire, while launching the careers of many leading artists/illustrators of the age. With the increased use of illustration, photography and colour in magazines of this period, British Periodicals III becomes a compelling collection for research and teaching in the areas of bibliographic and art history, while reinforcing the broad cross-disciplinary value of the British Periodicals series.
