Yuk, yuk, yuk!

I don't have the Frank Leslie (catalogued, at least) but I have the others. 
They are either too fragile to scan on my high res flatbed scanner, or too 
big, and my digital camera does not have high enough resolution.

I did one Daily Graphic illustration in two scans, but that 1873 Daily 
Graphic cover is too big to fit on my scanner except in fourths, which may 
be too difficult for some Photoshop sharpshooter to align and reassemble, 
but if worse comes to worst...

Tracy; I must have this one:

Mark Twain at the Tomb of Adam, Harper's May 1875, p. 848

somewhere;  where exactly is the question.  I'm hunting around in my files,
more later.

ps: as Wolfgang says, I'm shocked to hear of something Kevin does not own,
other than a Gutenberg Bible and the complete Audubon volumes of Birds of
America (last I checked it was the highest auction price ever for any
book).  Shocked, I say.
