Within decades, new visual and auditory media had ushered in a mechanized milieu, displacing print from its position at the heart of cultural life. During this period of intense change, illustrated magazines maintained a central position in the media landscape by transforming their letterpress orientation into a visual and multimodal one. Ultimately, this transformation was important for the new media cultures of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eMaking Pictorial Print\u003c\/i\u003e recovers this chapter in the history of new media, applying concepts from media theory and the digital humanities to analyse four popular late-Victorian magazines - the \u003ci\u003eIllustrated London News\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eGraphic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePearson's Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eStrand\u003c\/i\u003e - and the scrapbook media that appropriated them. Using the concept of media literacy, these case studies demonstrate the ways in which periodical design aesthetics affected the terms of engagement presented to readers, creating opportunities for them to participate in and even contribute to popular culture. Shaped by publishers, advertisers, and readers themselves, the pages of these periodicals document the emergence of modern mass culture as we know it and offer insight into the new media of our digital present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Hedley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487506732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487506735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2022","brand":"Alison Hedley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073706520831,"sku":"9781487506735","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_10dde4da-3e1d-4bb8-a50d-ebb589c773c4.jpg?v=1685449419","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-pictorial-print-alison-hedley-9781487506735","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
