Editorial cartoons from The Bulletin, 1886 to 1952
Harvested: 9 May 2019
Using this notebook I downloaded at least one full page editorial cartoon for every issue of The Bulletin from 4 September 1886 to 17 September 1952. In total there are 3,471 images (approximately 60gb).
The names of each image file provide useful contextual metadata. For example, the file name 19330412-2774-nla.obj-606969767-7.jpg tells you:
| Fragment | Meaning |
|---|---|
19330412 |
the cartoon was published on 12 April 1933 |
2774 |
it was published in issue number 2774 |
nla.obj-606969767 |
the Trove identifier for the issue, can be used to make a url eg https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-606969767 |
