The Wide World Magazine, Vol. 22, No. 130, January, 1909

"The Wide World Magazine, Vol. 22, No. 130, January, 1909 by Various" is a monthly illustrated magazine published in 1909. Founded by George Newnes, this British periodical presented itself as a collection of "true-life" adventure and travel narratives from across the globe, operating under the motto "Truth is stranger than fiction." Featuring contributions from notable writers and abundant illustrations, the magazine offered readers tales of daring exploits and exotic journeys—though its commitment to truth had been previously tested by scandalous hoaxes that captivated and embarrassed Victorian audiences.
