Finding Out
Encyclopedia
Finding Out was a weekly educational magazine for children. It was subtitled "The modern magazine for young people everywhere". First published around 1962/63, for several years it was a competitor to Look and Learn
. Eventually some time in the late 1960s, the two publications amalgamated.
The publication generally didn't include free gifts. However one exception to this was a set of four reproductions of famous paintings issued around 1964. These were approximately 11 cm x 16 cm and came complete with frames folded out of cardboard. The paintings were:
"Mares and Foals" by Stubbs
"The Haywain" by Constable
"The Fighting Temeraire" by Turner
"The Grand Canal" by Canaletto.
They were issued one per week. The frames included tabs through which pins could be pushed to fix the picture on a wall. It was possible to hang them up either in "portrait" or "landscape" format. All four pictures were in "landscape" format so maybe a further issue was planned which never materialized.
