Lot #11 - This beautiful advertising booklet from the turn-of-the-century features 12 full-page interior color illustrations by R. F. Outcault and the front and back covers. The booklet shows some wear and has some staining, a few small tears, etc. It is still a great item and is priced to sell at $125.

Lot 12 - Burr McIntosh Magazine, November, 1903 This magazine has three pages of R. F. Outcault art but is missing the fourth page of his work and several other pages. Still, pages from these magazine are usually removed and framed so you are still getting three nice examples of Outcault's early work. The holes in the margin are for the cord that was used to "bind" the magazine. Other contents include pictures of college football teams! $15!

Lot #13
Pore Li'l Mose
Pore Li'l Mose was R. F. Outcault's great black comic character whose popularity was greatest in 1901-1902. The newspaper art was reproduced on quality paper, printed only on one side, and was published as one of the early oblong reprint comic books. Moisture has made the page a little wavy but it would barely show if you framed it. The book is very rare and pages are very rare. $35

Lot #14
Tige--His Story
One of three 8"x10" hardcover Buster Brown books written and drawn by R. F. Outcault. All of the interior art is black+white but images range from fairly small to full page illustrations. The book was published by Stokes in September, 1905. See the newsletter section in this web site, Vol. 7, No. 4, for more detailed information about this book. This copy is a solid VG showing a little wear at the corners or it would be in Fine condition. A nice dated inscription on the first page indicates that this book was a 1905 Christmas present for some lucky child. This book is priced to sell at $150.

Lot #15
