"The Leisure Hour: London for 1890 is an annual bound volume of the respected Victorian periodical published by The Leisure Hour and printed by R.K. Burt & Co, London. This richly illustrated collection encapsulates the spirit of late nineteenth-century Britain through its diverse contents—fictional stories, travel accounts, historical essays, biographies, scientific notes, and moral reflections—all written to both instruct and entertain a wide readership. Maintaining its founding ideal of "recreation and instruction combined," the 1890 volume offers a vivid portrait of the values and curiosities of Victorian society.
With contributions from prominent writers of the day and a strong moral undercurrent typical of the Religious Tract Society's publications, this edition provides an authentic glimpse into contemporary life, faith, and thought. It stands as an appealing collectible for those interested in Victorian journalism, illustrated periodicals, and the social and literary culture of nineteenth-century Britain."
