The English Illustrated Magazine was a monthly illustrated family magazine (1883-1913), published first by Macmillan and costing initially one shilling (with circulation faltering, the title reduced its price to 6d in 1893). J. W. Comyns Carr, the editor (until 1889), included a large number of illustrations (including word engravings and photographs) by notable artists, and ensured the magazine featured serial fiction by well-known writers and a wide variety of non-fiction genres and poems. Following Carr’s resignation, the magazine was edited by Clement King Shorter and Bruce Ingram, who were also editors of the Illustrated London News.
