Harper's Magazine.
Published November 1919, New York by Harper & Brothers.
c. 200 pages plus 100+ pages of pictorial advertising. Text in English. Illustrated throughout. Nice assortment of pictorial advertising as well, including numerous plates in color. Ads include several great rare automobile ads.
Scarce early 20th century American current events magazine with pleasing visual content. Includes early aviation.
Binding remains clean, tight, and sound, various mostly small signs of age, time and handling, nothing offensive or major. Overall a nice looking example.
Small age flaws or defects include possible random old creasing, several light old oval rubber stamps, 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. 10" H x 7" W.
