What you’re looking at

This is a library ownership and preservation label, not a page from the penny dreadful itself. The card is affixed to the inside front cover or endpaper of a book held by the University of Toronto Library. It bears an institutional stamp identifying the volume as library property and includes a clear directive: "DO NOT REMOVE THE CARD FROM THIS POCKET." The pocket referenced was a standard library feature of the era, designed to hold a borrowing card that tracked circulation. This label represents the book's cataloging and protection system rather than original Victorian publication material.
