Interesting Record: Glasgow Zig-zag, The;
A handwritten, rather than typed humorous paper containing narratives, poetry and comical illustrations. "The contributors agreed that [The Glasgow Zig-Zag] was to be as comic as possible but after looking over the various articles we found that there was not one among the lot but approached too near the sublime and entirely out of the range of the ridiculous" (Introduction no 1). Number 1 is bound in hard cover and the title and subtitle are written backwards except for the word "Zig-Zag".
