Life

July 30, 1891

 Inside:  The black boy and the watermelon; Jefferson Davis Statue will be erected in Richmond VA; No adequate statue of Lincoln yet; Lily Langtry is kicked in the face by a man and her beauty is marred. Mr. Hibbard's stories; Centerfold is Life's fresh air fund and how it helps the children; Mermaid poem and sketch ; ads. Lots of other items.

This original magazine is well illustrated with humorous sketches as well as serious issues of the day. Stereotypical views of Irish, Jews, Chinese and Black. Indians were treated the same but sympathetically. Beautiful women grace its pages.
