Apart from the strip's fascinating content and outstanding graphic qualities, DREAM OF THE RAREBIT FIEND is also
an important source of information about everyday culture in the United States during the early 20th century. It was here,
and only here, that Winsor McCay incorporated real daily life into almost every episode - from fashion, sports and politics
through work, architecture, technical progress and celebrities. One could view the feature as an encyclopedia, or a mirror
on the United States in the early 20th century.
It is easy to identify all the people, events and objects mentioned in the book, as the enclosed DVD contains the printed
text as well as the complete catalog of episodes in the form of a WORD document, which can be browsed by using keywords.
