1895

The Sketch


A little while ago I included an image of Miss Nettie Honeyball, Captain of the British Ladies' Football Club, in her Football Costume, taken from The Sketch. Here is another page from the magazine, this one dated 10 April, 1895.
The Sketch was an illustrated newspaper weekly, which focused on high society and the aristocracy. It ran for 2,989 issues between 1 February 1893 and 17 June 1959. It was published by the Illustrated London News Company. Agatha Christie had many stories printed in the magazine and The British Library holds a complete run of the publication.

I'm not sure if this is a supplement as such, but this illustration comes from The Sketch, dated 6 February,  1895 showing a full length captioned picture - 'Miss Nettie Honeyball, Captain of the British Ladies' Football Club, in her Football Costume.'  The overall size is 14" x 10", with and the image itself being 9.75" x 6.5".
