Pirates, Industry and War: British Magazine Maps of the 18th Century

Pirates, Industry and War were featured heavily in 18th Century British news. Monthly topical and current events magazines evolved as a popular publication style at this time to help educated males in a growing Empire keep up with the latest events. The most prominent and among the earliest was Gentleman’s Magazine, which began as a digest reprinting the best articles from the slew of dailies and weeklies available in London. Over time it and its many competitors began to offer original content.
