As indicated by its title and style, it belongs to a series aimed at both educating and entertaining the general public. This edition, published in the late 1880s, captures the spirit
of the time by addressing topics relevant to the daily lives and intellectual curiosities of its audience. The content of this issue includes a diverse range of topics, with a notable focus on the dynamics of portable theatre, showcasing itinerant actors and their challenges. It illustrates the struggles of performers who travel from town to town, setting up temporary stages and entertaining local audiences while navigating the precarious nature of their profession. Among the sketches are vivid portrayals of individual characters, such as the ambitious manager and the hard-working actors, each contributing to a rich tableau of life in the performing arts. Additionally, the journal explores stories that touch on personal relationships and social issues, such as the ethical dilemmas faced by characters caught in deceptive circumstances, thereby offering both narrative and moral complexities that would resonate with contemporary readers.
