The Last Of Lilly?

As i mentioned last time, very few of Carolyn Wells & G. F. Kaber's macabrely odd (and lovely) Adventures of Lovely Lilly strips are known to survive 113 years later.

In addition to the 3 strips run previously, these are all that i have ever seen, or even heard of. Hopefully, i'm wrong. Anybody got a stash of old New York Herald papers from 1906 & 1907?

The last two of these are directly from old papers, so they're actually still in colour, too -






I'd love to find more.

Also, so far as i know, this was Kaber's only excursion into comics. As noted last time, his art fame comes from his paintings.

colour strips from New York Herald (1907, June 2 & 9)
