Samuel Baker... Unrest in Sicily... Fate of Canada...



Item # 576228

January 20, 1894

THE ILLUSTRATED AMERICAN, New York & Chicago, January 20, 1894  The front page of the issue is entitled "The Conqueror of Kabba Rega" and includes a photo of Samuel Baker who was involved in Africa much earlier than Stanley Livingstone.  Within the issue is coverage on "Troubled Sicily - A State of Siege Has Been Proclaimed - Riots and Bloodshed on Every Side" and "The Fate of Canada - Mr. John Jacob Astor's Suggestion Starts Anew the Interesting Discussion of Annexation". Many illustrations and photos within, formatted very much like "Harper's Weekly" but it had a relatively short life and is uncommon as such.

Complete in 24 pages and in very good condition.
