La Domenica del Corriere (The Sunday Courier) was an Italian weekly newspaper which ran from 1899 to 1989. I really can't add anything more to this except, the art included in each edition is truly wonderful—that I decided to share a sliver of the ones that I liked; since they're all almost equally beautiful.
You can view an archived copy that I liked from 1958/7/20 on the Internet Archive.
The artist who drew many of these pieces—including an infamously historical one. Achille Beltrame, is credited with drawing the cover of this newspaper from the beginning of the twentieth century till World War II.

I like these pieces, they provide a visual contemporary retelling of many events, some of which we view as changing the course of history.
I wish there was a book that comprised and archived all the artworks.
Achille Beltrame was succeeded by Walter Molino, an artist credited with many disturbing and detailed depiction of gruesome accidents.
