As an experiment to show what our ancestors might have read I've selected three issues (see below) of the Dublin Penny Journal (it had a significant circulation and excellent illustrations) and will probably add others issues and other small newspapers if able to do so. Please however be aware that the images are large and broadband is a "must" to browse from page to page !
Hope you enjoy them.
