What's a good online source to read old newspapers, magazines and the like. I've especially been interested in American stuff (old Harper's, Puck, newspapers in general though maybe the bigger ones of the day, etc.) from the middle part of the 19th through the first part of the 20th (maybe up to WWI) century. Seems like the kind of thing that might be cool to read in seeing how events of the day played out.

Bumping out of interest.
I want to see the illustrations from the French Le petit Journal

You have to pay for the best ones.
Right now I'm looking through archives of newspapers and magazines from my country. The oldest start in 1848 but the most interesting is a movie magazine from the 30s.
Newspaper archives hunts are addictive as hell.

Kind of a shame. Stuff like that should be freely available and not locked behind a paywall.

Were those collars normal in America in the 19th century?

Yes, large collars and child-sized bipedal cats were something of a trend in the 1890s falling quickly out of favor at the turn of the century after the assassination of William McKinley due to its association with his age. Grief over the death was such that nearly all traces of the more radical trends the age of American optimism inspired were wiped from the history books.
