Harper's Weekly: A Journal of Civilization.

(Old Periodicals, 19th Century Newspapers, Americana, Harper's Weekly, Spanish-American War,  Illustrated Newspapers).

Issued February 26th, 1898, New York, by Harper & Brothers.

An actual piece of American history issued during the lead up to Spanish-American War. Filled with commentary and offset images, issued contemporary to the events.

Original late-19th century weekly newspaper.  An actual, complete newspaper published at the date listed, not a modern re-issue.

Nice looking, clean, well preserved example, pages loosened, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. Text on reverse of each page as always, images and maps from Harper's like this are often offered separately for display.
