Edward Burgess Hudson (1854 -1936) was the founder of Country Life magazine in 1897. This is an original USED vintage magazine not a scan and not a later re-print. If there is a particular date you for a birthday or anniversary etc please ask.
Approx forty pages (80 sides). It measures 345 x 235 mm (13.5 x 9.25 " ) There is some age yellowing. The staples were rusty (I have removed them); the pages are loose. The pages are smooth with white/chalky coating issues. The images vary in size and are in b/w unless otherwise stated. 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 no pages missing, but if you are looking for something in particular in this issue PLEASE ASK. The process of the page numbering carry on from the previous issue, therefore do not start at number 1. The four digit number in brackets in title is for my ref only.
