Harding Howell and Company's Grand Fashionable Magazine was an 18th-century department store at 89 Pall Mall in St James's, London. Open from 1796 to 1820, it could be considered a forerunner of the modern department store.[1]
The shop was divided into four departments, selling fur and fans, fabric for dresses, haberdashery, jewellery and clocks, perfume and millinery.[2]
