Lot Details
1903 ''The Daily Mirror'' November 2, 20 page tabloid with front page entirely devoted to adverts, ditto page 2. The news starts on page 3 with a boxed weather forecast: ''our special forecast for today is: continuing changeable; fair at first, rain everywhere later''. Page 4 is headed ''The World's Latest News by Telegram and Cable''; page 5 is headed ''The News of London and the Provinces''. On page 11 is ''the Hour Glass of Fashion'' by Mrs Jack May with large illustration titled 'A Very Artistic Tea gown'. This just gives a taste of the tabloid, which is lightly stained at edges & has the odd minor tear, but unfolded & otherwise fine.
