    I found this bound book of cartoons and ads. The binding looks to be about 80 years old or older.

    I don't recognize the cartoons. Does anyone think they can date it or name the cartoon strips and possible publications that printed them?

    One page does say "special features for 1892"

    The binding is covered in marbleized paper. Bound editions of some magazine, I'd assume.

    Actually, the page numbers are not sequential. It looks like each was selected because it was part of the comic section of an early publication. There are some sequences of about five pages or so.

    It seems to be the cartoon parts of a magazine or different magazines that were bound together. The cartoons and the advertisements give a wonderful view of that time! An historically very interesting document. I am sure there will be collectors for this, althouh I do not think it is very valuable money wise.

    My gut feeling is this dates from around 1900.
