Cavalcade was a British weekly news magazine which was in circulation between 1936 and 1950.[1] It was modelled on the American magazine Time.[2][3] The first issue of Cavalcade appeared in February 1936.[1][4] The founding publisher was News Periodicals Ltd.[5] In 1937 Cavalcade reported that its circulation was 50,000 copies,[1] but next year the magazine was sold due to financial problems.[2]
Cavalcade was the only British publication which published the photographs of King Edward and Wallis Simpson in the summer of 1936 taken when they were on holiday.[6] These photographs made their relationship publicly known for the first time.[6]
