The ephemeral "Eye of the World Illustrated Weekly" began operations in August 1933 and published its last issue as early as the end of that year, 1933. The richly illustrated magazine conveyed to its readers the latest news from the country and the world, scientific, cultural and sports news. One of the most common themes in articles on world news is the dangerous policies of Hitler's Germany. The magazine's editors repeatedly point out that decisive action by European countries is needed to avoid the outbreak of another war. Other prophetic-sounding articles include: "Future war will engulf the stratosphere," "Life in the cogs of machines," and "Will we go to the moon." Also noteworthy are crime news informing readers about, among other things, the progress in the case of the most famous Polish murderess of the Second Republic - Rita Gorgonowa, and news from the world of Polish and Hollywood film with beautiful photographs of the biggest stars of the time. From issue 13 (November 19) also began to print a novel in episodes entitled. "The Bride of the Convict."

From issue 13 (November 19) the magazine changed to a larger format, and from that issue also began to publish a children's supplement - "Mesh" Each issue of "Mesh" consists of 4 pages of short texts illustrated with black and white drawings. In addition to fairy tales, rhymes and riddles, the attention is drawn to educational content, such as the "Mesh advises" corner. In turn, in issue 2 of November 26, the editors included a text with an unusual theme - a short historical sketch on the November Uprising, adapted to young readers.
