Leslie's Illustrated Weekly Newspaper.
Published March 13th, 1913, New York by Leslie-Judge Co.
c. 18 pages plus color wrappers. Cover art by Gordan Grant. Text in English. Illustrated throughout, many b&w photos. Nice assortment of dated advertising as well, often illustrated. Includes a nice full page color Cream of Wheat.

Nice early 20th century American folio current events magazine with pleasing visual content.

Note- spine paper split, so both covers are detached.

Binding is mostly clean, remains tight, and sound, various mostly small signs of age, time and handling, nothing offensive. Overall still a nice looking example of a scarce individual issue.

Small age flaws or defects include possible random old creasing, edge chipping, small light old staining, etc. Overall entirely acceptable example of what is likely a scarce survival. The pictures give a very good sense of how the item survives.

Virtually all periodicals of this era are somewhat scarce today as loose complete issues. Like most random survivals of old periodical printing, any specific example (like this one) is likely among a relative handful still extant. As each decade goes back from 1950, the rate of scarcity for any specific magazine or paper item increases noticeably.

Text block remains overall clean, and displays a pleasing age patina.

Magazine remains attractive on the shelf. It displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this antique item survives. This item is not new- it is old and has been handled by different owners in the past.

Magazine Measures c. 16 1/4" H x 10 1/2" W.
