Within decades, new visual and auditory media had ushered in a mechanized milieu, displacing print from its position at the heart of cultural life. During this period of intense change, illustrated magazines maintained a central position in the media landscape by transforming their letterpress orientation into a visual and multimodal one. Ultimately, this transformation was important for the new media cultures of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking Pictorial Print\u003c\/i\u003e recovers this chapter in the history of new media, applying concepts from media theory and the digital humanities to analyse four popular late-Victorian magazines – the \u003ci\u003eIllustrated London News\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eGraphic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePearson\u0026amp;#x2019;s Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eStrand\u003c\/i\u003e – and the scrapbook media that appropriated them. Using the concept of media literacy, these case studies demonstrate the ways in which periodical design aesthetics affected the terms of engagement presented to readers, creating opportunities for them to participate in and even contribute to popular culture. Shaped by publishers, advertisers, and readers themselves, the pages of these periodicals document the emergence of modern mass culture as we know it and offer insight into the new media of our digital present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: A History of Victorian Print Media Literacy and the Technological Imagination\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
