This dataset includes a collection of 3,471 full-page editorial cartoons downloaded from issues of The Bulletin published between 1886 and 1952. In most cases there is one cartoon per issue. Metadata describing each image is available in a CSV-fromatted file, and in an SQLite database that can be explored using Datasette-Lite. The full collection of high-resolution images can be downloaded as a single 62gb zip file.
These datasets were generated using notebooks in the trove-journals repository.
