Alfred Perceval Graves death... Irish poet...



Item # 630644

December 28, 1931

THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 28, 1931

* Alfred Perceval Graves death
* Anglo-Irish poet - Dublin, Ireland


Page 17 has a one column heading: "ALFRED P. GRAVES, IRISH POET, IS DEAD" with subheads. (see) First report coverage on the death of Alfred Perceval Graves, Anglo-Irish poet, songwriter and folklorist. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 36 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
