Antique Magazine: Pick-Me-Up - [Sept 15,1894]

Ever wondered what light-hearted penny magazines from the late 1800s were like? Scoop up this September 15, 1894 issue of 'Pick-Me-Up'. The intent of the periodical (‘A Literary and Artistic Tonic for the Mind,’ was to cheer you up

To be honest the jokes and references are often somewhat opaque as it's from a different century, but the ads are interesting and it's overall a weird little glimpse into the world of 1894.
