NEW YORK TIMES, June 11, 1939.
* King and Queen of England (George VI)
* New York City - visits the big apple
The front page has a six column headline: "3,500,000 CHEERING NEW YORKERS GREET KING AND QUEEN; THEY ARE OFFICIALLY WELCOMED AT BATTERY AND FAIR, VISIT COLUMBIA, DRIVE TO HYPE PARK FOR DAY'S REST" with many subheads. (see) Much more on the following pages, loads of text. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication, especially on this subject.
Other news of the day. Complete 1st section only with all 48 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.
