Armidale Chronicle in Armidale, New South Wales

Fragmented comic vignettes from a crowded city page

A collage of street scenes and humor from a late 19th or early 20th century paper. It includes misstarted dialogue about death and illness, domestic tensions, market life, a boy’s strange names, a clubman and worker exchange, a skittish fiancee, a magistrate scene about a Christmas necktie, a beggar with a dog and placard, and a passerby’s mistaken change.
