Boys' Own Picture GalleryTotal Issues: 10Believed by Lofts to be the largest boys' publication ever published. "This shortlived paper failed I think because of its promises and dreadful mistakes in printing. They gave away free sketches each week, and the main story featured "Fred Blake of the Queen's Lancers". In No.8 they announced that next week's tremendous story would be "Blake attacks the Spanish Armada", yet in No.9 the main story featured Sir Francis Drake attacking it. Also in No.9 it announced a tremendous free gift for next week, but in No.10 they announced that it was not ready yet, also that they were changing their publisher. No.11 never did appear." (W.O.G. Lofts)
