I found this yesterday at an antique store. I liked the look of it and brought it home with me. Does anyone know about this ?? The First photo is the Front, the second is the Back, the third is a double page photo and the last is a photo of a couple of pages of articles. These Photos are Great, but I dont know anything about their History.

It looks like a children's newspaper produced to entertain children on their ocean voyage. My guess is that it wasn't actually printed on the ship. Maybe the publisher provided newspapers for all or many of the cruise lines and ships of the day. (of course, I'm completely speculating here, I've never seen this paper- but it seems a good guess!)
Well it looks like my reading skills are rather poor- there is a date on the first page. Maybe it was printed on the ship after all! Or perhaps they had them per-printed, and added the dates on board. (I didn't notice anything particular on the news page that was specific to a certain date)
I, as well have not seen one of these! Kind of confusing isnt it. Or at least it is to me! Thanks stefdesign.
It was a Chicago newspaper.
Wow, packrat, I never would have guessed! I guess those poor tots on their ocean voyage DIDN'T get a great newspaper to read!
I guess Inter-Ocean meant halfway between the oceans?
Thanks for the Love Mani
Thanks for the Love ho2cultcha and packrat-place
The artist noted on the pictures may be Charles Saalburg, a newspaper cartoonist and printer who obtained the patent for early four-color printing. The other two noted artist Saalburgs are his sons Allen (born 1899) and Leslie. I love the "Catinee" picture best out of the three.
Thanks for the info mustangtony. I too like catinee and the others are awesome too,considering the age of the piece. Thanks again.
Some FYI stuff:
"The morning Chicago Republican (1865), sporting the motto “Republican in everything, Independent in nothing,” was edited briefly by Charles A. Dana and, in 1872, after passing through several hands, was renamed the Chicago Inter Ocean, an upper-class arbiter of cultural tastes. The Inter Ocean went into decline after 1895, when it became the property of Chicago traction boss Charles T. Yerkes, who used it as a tool in his political wars."
Thank You for the Great information packrat-place. You always step up to the Plate and Help! AWESOME!! Thanks again!
