A most unusual newspaper...
THE TRUTHFUL LYRE, (Santa Rosa, California), approx. 1896 A most unusual newspaper, comedy being its theme. Nothing in the issue can be believed; it is satirical from beginning to end, including the ads.
There is no city & date in the masthead, however by deduction from the content we believe it to be as noted above.
Four pages, printed on high-quality newspaper rather than what was more typical for the day, various archival mends at the folds & margins from wear, otherwise in good condition.
