(Old Periodicals, 19th Century Newspapers, Americana, Harper's Weekly, Gilded Age, Illustrated Newspapers, Baseball, St. Louis Browns, Frederick Remington, Cowboy Scenes).

Issued October 27th, 1888, New York, by Harper & Brothers.

An actual piece of American history issued during the Gilded Age. Filled with commentary and wood engraved 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.

During this period, this journal was a major, influential national publication which employed many of the top artists of the era.

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.
