"The Universal Magazine of Knowledge and Pleasure: Containing news, letters, debates, poetry, musick, biography, history, geography, voyages, criticism, transactions, philosophy, mathematicks, husbandry, gardening. cooking, chemistry, mechanics, trade, navigation, architecture, and other arts and sciences; which may render it instructive and entertaining to gentry, merchants, farmers, and tradesmen. To which occasionally will be added, an impartial account of books in several languages, and of the state of learning in Europe; also of the stage, new opera's, plays, and oratio's." The Universal Magazine was published monthly in London and contained some of the most attractive of all magazine maps, often incorporating decorative title cartouches and occasionally executed in wash colour. The number of plates in other magazines of the period increased greatly in competitive response to those plates being produced in the Universal Magazine. Many of the maps found therein were engraved by the renowned and skilled Richard Seale.
