Are earlier journals dismissed as "antiquarian"? Surely articles such as "Cotton and the cotton trade" (David Lamb, vol 2, 1850) or "Cowley, and the poets of the seventeenth century" (David Buxton, vol 7, 1854) count as history?

These hierarchies of prestige & geography are so tedious.

The EHR is not "the oldest journal of historical scholarship in the English-speaking world" as its publisher claims. There were scores of history journals in English before 1886. For example, the Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire & Cheshire, est 1849 @historicsoclandc.bsky.social‬
