Table Talk (magazine)

Table Talk: A Journal for Men and Women, was a weekly magazine published from 26 June 1885[1] until September 1939 in Melbourne, Australia.[2] It was established in 1885 by Maurice Brodzky (1847–1919), who obtained financial assistance[3] to start his own publication after resigning from The Herald.[2]

Table Talk was a social magazine that catered for both male and female readers.[4] It included articles about politics, finance, literature, arts and social notes.[4] Its gossip style attracted readers with articles about local notables and famous people from overseas, commenting on, among other things, their fashions, relationships, and social engagements.[4] It was most popular during the 1880s Land Boom in Melbourne.[2]

In 1893, trade unionist Frederick Bromley sued Brodzky after Table Talk drew public attention to the link between Bromley and George Sangster, who had illegally used union funds. The jury found for Bromley, awarding him £500 damages,[5] and Brodzky left for America. G. V. Allen took over as proprietor and publisher, to the disgust of at least one commentator.[6]

In 1899, the format of Table Talk changed to include photographs and different font sizes.[7] It had a folio-size format, and initially was 16 pages, increasing to 20 pages by 1885, and was 24 pages by 1888. It was initially sold for threepence but the price had increased to sixpence by 1903.[8]

In September 1924, Table Talk was sold for a reported £15,000.[9] In 1926, it absorbed the illustrated magazine Punch.[10] The last issue was dated 7 September 1939.[11]
