Online-Service mit Zugang zu sämtlichen Ausgaben der Zeitung "Illustrated London News" zwischen 1842 und 2003 im kombinierten Volltext- und Imageformat. Die Artikel des anfangs als Wochenzeitung erschienenen Blattes behandeln über in- und ausländische Themen aus den Bereichen Politik, Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft, Kultur, Wissenschaft und Sport. In den früheren Jahrzehnten der Zeitschrift konnten u. a. so bekannte Fotografen wie Felice Beato, Antoine Claudet, Joseph Cundall oder Roger Fenton für Illustrationen gewonnen werden. Auch entsandte die Zeitschrift Kriegszeichner zu Konflikten nach Kontinentaleuropa. Ab den 1960er und 1970er Jahren konnten die "Illustrated London News" mit dem Erfolg der Nachrichtenberichterstattung im Fernsehen nicht mithalten und sie erschienen quartalsweise und zuletzt zweimal im Jahr.
