Within the pages of Zozimus, you’ll find comics and illustrations depicting the prominent social, political and religious issues of 19th-century Ireland. Although this Dublin-based magazine ran for just two years (1870-1872), its pages offer an immersive insight into Irish society at the time.

New titles:

  • Zozimus, 1870-1872
  • New Ross Reporter, 1897-1901, 1903, 1907-1910
  • Clare Champion, 1910-1916
  • Offaly Independent, 1910-1911
