Notes

There were two periodicals of this title: the first, Comic life: a serio-jocular journal (British Library catalogue no. 1865.a.7.(13.)) was founded in 1871 and seems less likely to be the source of slide images.
The second was originally published as Pictorial Comic Life: the Amusing Picture Paper for the People (2 July 1898 to 30 December 1899), published by James Henderson.
