EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front page of The Daily Courant, a groundbreaking daily newspaper that first emerged in London, England, in 1702. At the time, this was an unprecedented innovation in the world of media, as most newspapers were published weekly or bi-weekly. The Daily Courant began as a single sheet, printed on one side only, and was sold for the modest price of one penny. Three years after its inception, this copy of The Daily Courant from 1705 displays a significant evolution. For the first time, both sides of the sheet were utilized for printing. The front page is adorned with various news items, including a report on the ongoing war between France and the Spanish, as well as a notice about a stolen horse and a list of ships arriving in the Port of London. The eighteenth century, also known as the Age of Enlightenment, was a time of great intellectual and cultural development. The emergence of daily newspapers, such as The Daily Courant, played a crucial role in shaping the way people stayed informed about the world around them. This historical artifact offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, illustrating the early days of daily journalism and the impact it had on society during the 18th century.
