A window into a bustling Victorian mind: curious, practical, and endlessly imaginative. Chambers' Journal No. 695, April 21, 1877 gathers a week's worth of wonder for modern readers seeking both charm and substance. This illustrated magazine unfolds through serial essays, popular science writing, and daily life anecdotes that illuminate ordinary lives in extraordinary ways.

Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This is a home library collection staple, perfect for antique literature enthusiasts and anyone curious about the era's everyday wonders.
