If I enlarge the image 300% I can read some, but not all, of the pedestal inscriptions.
Even with the crisp printing of the turn of the previous century, and the strip being given a whole page, I can’t imagine them being legible in a newspaper.
Interesting, though, to read them and try to grasp the mostly forgotten stereotypes of 120 years ago.
