Thrilling Life Stories for the Masses
A cheap illustrated anthology of sensational moral fiction published in 1892 by the Thrilling Stories' Committee for a mass popular readership. The 153 captioned line drawings stage domestic melodrama — a christening at the font, a woman weeping at a kitchen table, parlour confrontations — with hatched interiors, 1890s dress and printed caption lines designers can lift as ready-made narrative vignettes.
