Newspaper/bookseller stall Ripper Street

[orm1]

My attempt at a W.H Smith & Son stall based on the one from Ripper Street not sure how to do the papers and adverts yet.

For papers, I'd be tempted to search for pics of front pages and first resize, then print them out & glue them to the shelves.

Probably would do the same for advertising- some nice pics if you google 'victorian advertising', for very colourfull stuff try 'fruit crate labels' or simply certain brand names (e.g. Bovril - admittedly the results are sometimes slightly, erm, eccentric 'Bovril by electrocution' is featuring cows sitting on electrical chairs: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tiber/Vict5.jpg)

There are newspapers ready-made-printables in some dollhouses sites. Some are in right scale so, direct print and glue. If not resize, print and glue. Search the net for "printables".
The second is search for newspapers, and other ephemera from the time. resize them and glue. You can easily find newspapers, magazines ("Strand" for example), advertisements, banknotes, cigar boxes, theatrical advertisements and programms, photos, book covers, cigarette boxes, chocolates, cans, signs, menus, tavern/pub signs, flags, even flowers  etc of the late Victorian era. You will surprised. There is lots of interesting things you can find.
Save the images in  your PC and then copy to some paper resize the images print and glue.
Two note: use the best paper you can afford and spray them with a fixative.
Avoid water based glues or do not dilute (heavily) the glue in water and alcohol, since the inks of the printer are not waterproof!

For newspapers, books, boxes etc it is advisable to glue the printed matter on some core to give some depth.

There are also a couple of 'make your own' newspapers that you could use to design specific things that might relate to the action. As these produce pretty large images, you'll have to resize them, but you can get the headlines you want.

http://www.fodey.com/generators/newspaper/snippet.asp - this one generates an image that looks like a folded front of the newspaper - so they'd have to be folded on the counter.

Quite easy to use miniature printables for the contents of this stall.

You can get a couple of miniature pamphlets here. These are designed for use with 28mm scale miniatures so you can just print them out directly without bothering to resize.

You can also find newspaper fronts here. These are designed for dolls house miniatures so you will need to resize them. If you reduce their size to a fifth, they should fit in with 28mm miniatures.
