Shurey’s Publications

Shurey's Illustrated was a one penny weekly illustrated newspaper launched during the Second Anglo-Boer War. While other illustrated papers launched at the time, such as The Illustrated War News, focused on the war, Shurey's Illustrated also covered other topics, including sports and social events. It was one of a stable of one-penny weekly illustrated papers managed by Charles and Henry Shurey.

These also comprised the  magazines "Smart Novels," "Yes and No" and "Dainty Novels" which gave away fine quality postcards with their publications pre 1906.
