THE PENNY MAGAZINE Oct. 12, 1833 wild boar hunting Norwich, England the cascade of Regla This is a paper which is over 190 years old. It is printed in a small format, measuring 7 by 11 in size, and is 8 pages long. The paper came from a bound volume and has typical minor disbinding marks at the spine, plus a few small age spots (see photos), but is otherwise in excellent and attractive condition. The highlight of this issue is on BOAR-HUNTING. It is illustrated with a dramatic 4×5.5-inch wood engraving of Wild-Boar Hunting, showing a hunter with a spear and his dogs confronting a large wild pig. The article is over a page and a half of text, which describes the history of the sport, and the boar. It says in part: . . . The animal, this writer says, ought not to be accounted among beasts to be chased by common hunting dogs, but is fit game rather for mastiffs and their like. . . the ferocity and power of the animal are such that . . . it is exposing dogs . . . to far too great a risk to employ them in this sort of sport. The boar, he says, will kill a dog with a single blow from his tusks; and when he turns upon a pack, generally selects the strongest, and will lay several of them dead in as many instants. Boar-hunting is still a favourite amusement in India. . . In France, however, where there are large tracts of forest . . . boars are not uncommon, although their ferocity is much diminished. . . in some countries, even the domesticated hog retains a great deal of the fierceness which characterizes the wild breed. Etc. The issue also has over a page of text on the CITY OF NORWICH in England, with a half-page woodcut on the back cover of South-West View of the City of Norwich. The issues front page is devoted to a full-page engraving of VIEW OF THE BASALTIC ROCKS AND CASCADE OF REGLA. This is a nice scenic drawing, with two small figures of men in the foreground. On the following page is a short article of 40 lines on this natural geological formation in Mexico, between the celebrated mines of Real del Monte and the mineral waters of Totonilco. ******************* Background on this publication: The Penny Magazine was a weekly 8-page paper put out by Londons Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. Throughout the 1830s, an American edition was very popular in the United States, only to dwindle into extinction during the following decade. The paper did not cover the current news of the day, and carried no advertising. Instead, the Penny Magazine provided excellent essays on a wide array of subjects, such as architecture, science, geography and natural history. The paper was compact in size, and every issue was illustrated with several fine woodcut engravings. 98 [gsp10206] _gsrx_vers_1680 (GS 9.8.3 (1680))
