Please help me find R. F. Outcault's Pore Li'l Mose

[*paull*]

I saw a dealer at the Antiquarian Book Fair in NY today that had a copy of Poor Lil Mose. Dealer is Helen Younger helen@alephbet.com , www.alephbet.com

She is asking $4,000 for the book, which is the highest price I have ever seen for it. Amazing.

Keep in mind this was the Antiquarian Book Fair... every damned thing in there was jacked up beyond belief.

Thanks, they are great examples of PLM, but I do have them. Actually, I have all of the pages from the book, which are even nicer than the tear sheets because of the paper they were printed on.

 

Are these from the book or were in a newspaper? I actually have no idea. I bought them recently via e-bay.

 

UPDATE: Looking at the book for sale I presume my pages were cut from one.

The book pages are slick paper and the back of the page is blank. The newspaper pages are on newsprint and have printing on both sides.
