It was founded in 1839 by Hodgson & Graves, print publishers, 6 Pall Mall, with the title ''Art Union Monthly Journal'' (or ''The Art Union''), the first issue of 750 copies appearing 15 February 1839.

The London publisher George Virtue bought a share of the business in 1848, with Hall remaining as editor, and they renamed the periodical ''The Art Journal'' in 1849. In 1851, as part of the "Great Exhibition" of that year, ''The Art Journal'' featured Hall's engravings of 150 pictures from the private collections of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Although this project was popular, the publication remained unprofitable, f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Daily Chronicle (United Kingdom)
The 'Daily Chronicle' was a British newspaper that was published from 1872 to 1930 when it merged with the '' Daily News'' to become the ''News Chronicle''. Foundation The ''Daily Chronicle'' was developed by Edward Lloyd out of a local newspaper that had started life as the ''Clerkenwell News and Domestic Intelligencer'', set up as a halfpenny 4-page weekly in 1855.

In 1872, it finally changed from the ''London Daily Chronicle and Clerkenwell News'' to plain ''Daily Chronicle''. It was then being published daily in eight pages, half of which were news and half advertising. Edward Lloyd was keenly interested in advertising. It had the potential to gen ...

Shirakaba
The was an influential Japanese literary coterie, which published the literary magazine '' Shirakaba'', from 1910 to 1923. History In 1910, a loose association of alumni of the prestigious Gakushuin Peer’s School in Tokyo began a literary society. Members included writers, artists, literary critics and others who rejected Confucianism and the strictures of traditional Japanese literary and artistic styles. In particular, the group emphasized idealism, humanism and individualism, over the naturalism that had been the dominant trend in Japanese literature of the Taishō period.

Unlike many other literary circles, The Shirakaba-ha did not limit their interest to literature, but also delved into other art forms. However, the group remained deeply interested in Japanese ...
