The Argosy, Vol. 27 (1879): Table of Contents

This page is not a pulp cover but the contents leaf of The Argosy, the British literary monthly edited by Mary Elizabeth Braddon — a periodical of serialized fiction, not a wood-pulp adventure magazine. What survives here is a table of contents listing eighteen chapters of Called to the Rescue (illustrated by M. Ellen Edwards) alongside short fiction by Julia Kavanagh, Alexandre Dumas, and others. The Argosy (1865–1901) was a respectable Victorian miscellany; its American namesake, Frank Munsey's The Argosy (1882), later printed on cheap wood-pulp paper, is the publication historians credit with founding the pulp magazine format. This British volume predates and is distinct from that lineage.
