Overview

Por esos Mundos was a Spanish illustrated magazine published in Madrid between 1900 and 1926. It first appeared in 1900 as a weekly supplement to the illustrated magazine Nuevo Mundo, and from 1906 it was issued as an independent monthly publication. The magazine specialised in travel themes — in its early years it carried the subtitle Aventuras y viajes (Adventures and Travels) — as well as escapism and entertainment, with a particular emphasis on the exotic. It also covered bullfighting (tauromaquia). From 1913 it formed part of the Prensa Gráfica group. Publication ceased in December 1916, although the magazine briefly reappeared in 1926 before its definitive disappearance. The publication is now chiefly remembered as a representative example of early twentieth-century Spanish illustrated journalism, and its issues are preserved in Spain's digital newspaper archive, the Hemeroteca Digital of the Biblioteca Nacional de España.
