Summary/Abstract: The author reviews a number of old newspapers, dated between 1793 and 1918 (access to a wider selection was not possible due to the prevailing pandemic). He draws particular attention to news items and to small advertisements, which document the lives of ordinary people against a background of major historical events. Finally, he presents a short anthology of small ads placed on the Internet during the current pandemic.
