You see a hand-coloured lithograph from 1832 featuring a man as a newsboy. He is blowing a small toy trumpet, and holds a copy of the 'Penny Magazine' in one hand. Many more copies of the paper are under his arm and on his back is a sack crammed with 'Materials for the Penny Cyclopcedia to commence in 1833 & to end the Devil knows when'. From his trumpet come the words: 'Entertaining Knowledge here—Trump Trump Trumpery Trump—Just printed and published the Penny Magazine, All works not issued by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge are Illegal—Orders now taken for the forthcoming New Penny Cyclopaedia, Trump Trump'. It was about the British popular weekly 'Penny Magazine' which featured not much politics, but was popular.
