Late 1800s Scrapbook Filled w Comics Postcards Black Americana News Articles

Late 1800s Scrapbook Filled w Comics Postcards Black Americana News Articles Ephemera. This is a journal dated 1893 on the cover. The journal itself is in poor condition, as seen in photos. The spine is practically gone with old masking tape applied. I have no idea if all the pages are present. The journal is a ledger was designed for business use and has a page for each day of the year. It measures roughly 13 ½" long by 8" across.

As seen in photos, the first couple of pages are from the ledger. After that, the book is filled with period newspaper articles, postcards and comics pasted to the ledger pages. All the items in the journal appear to be from the US.

The pages are filled until about early November. After that they are just normal blank journal pages.

The content of this journal was composed by an unknown previous owner. No other dates were found. The scrapbook is a representation of the history of the time, pre -1900, and we do not encourage / support the images in this as some are very offensive now.

This really should be shown in a large African American museum or collection. All items are all stored in a smoke and pet free home. Feel free to ask questions if we can help you.
