The four digit number in brackets in title is for my ref only. This is an original but ‘USED’ Magazine not a scan and not a later re-print. A similar publication to The Illustrated London News.
Ten pages (20sides). It measures 390 x 275 mm (15.25 x 10.75 inches). The spine and pages are loose with binding witness marks. The spine is damaged where it has been bound. Some of the double paged photographs, sketches, diagrams etc are detached on the centre fold of the paper therefore some of the images are detached down centre, see *. There is no red bordered advertising cover. There is a little age yellowing. Some of the pages may be loose, and have minor cuts tears and blemishes due to their great age - anything more than minor will be mentioned in the main body of the description. The engravings vary in size. The above list describes the content in my words and not necessarily what is written on the original page.
PLEASE NOTE: I cannot guarantee that the issue is complete 'as published' - but what I have described above IS present. As far as I can tell there are two pages missing, so if you are looking for something in particular in this issue PLEASE ASK. This item will be packaged in a tube unless otherwise requested. "Info.” in the description is my research, although relevant to the accompanying image or article, is not necessarily in the text.
