About This Item
1898. Magazine. Entire copies albeit with ruined spine panels and ragged covers. Find twelve from the 1880s and three from the next decade when cheaper means of illustration quickly became the norm. A February 1891 number is the item already described as clipped (a single instance only from the ads) and in thrashed condition, but kept with this lot because plenty of interesting cuts remain. Plus the Feb 1898 number when half-tone had taken over articles and many of the ads. Haul 'em away to your abattoir. Nothing startling, much that will be good scissoring. The fifteen singletons as a lot. A clip-art bonanza, mostly wood-engravings that accompany articles and advertisements from the 1880s, segueing into offset or half-tone visuals as the 1890 progresses -.
