These beautiful magazines were published for the landed gentry of England, and feature articles on hunting, husbandry, fishing, gardens, horse racing, dogs, cattle, sheep and similar subjects. Each weekly issue has a cover photo of a beautiful woman, with or without her children. She is always identified by her husband's name, or her father's. Each issue also features a well-illustrated article on a country home and its gardens. Photography in these magazines is beautiful, and the reader has a full picture of life as it was lived then. Particularly interesting is the reader correspondence, which leans heavily to memories and observations. Houses featured in this six months include Newbattle Abbey, Midlothian; Barncluith, Hamilton; Biel, Prestonkirk; Drumlanrig Castle, Dumfriesshire; Tyninghame, Haddingtonshire; Drummond Castle, Perthshire; Omaston Manor, Derbyshire; Longleat, Warminster; Hewell Grange, Redditch; and others.
