History [ edit ]
The magazine was founded by well-known publisher George Newnes , also famous for Tit-Bits The Strand Magazine Country Life [1]
In August 1898, it published the first in a number of installments of "The Adventures of Louis de Rougemont ", billed as "the most amazing story a man ever lived to tell", and claiming to be an account of a man who had spent thirty years in the outback of Australia .[2] Daily Chronicle [3]
Some famous names occasionally wrote for the magazine (such as Arthur Conan Doyle , Henry Morton Stanley , Douglas Reeman etc.), and it was copiously illustrated with photographs, as well as black and white drawings by such artists as Terence Cuneo , Cecil Stuart Tresilian, Alfred Pearse, Chas Sheldon, Paul Hardy, William Barnes Wollen , John L. Wimbush , Charles J. Staniland, Joseph Finnemore , John Charlton , Warwick Goble , Tom Browne , Ernest Prater , Gordon Browne , Edward S. Hodgson , Norman H. Hardy, Inglis Sheldon Williams , and Harry Rountree .[4]
The May 1913 issue contained the first reports of the death of notorious outlaw Butch Cassidy in Bolivia.[1]
Ben Macintyre , writing in 2004, humorously described the magazine as being about "brave chaps with large moustaches on stiff upper lips, who did stupid and dangerous things".[5]
