Burining of convents in Spain (1931)....



Item # 647548

May 12, 1931

THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 12, 1931

* Burning of Convents in Spain
* Marcha Real - national anthem
* Madrid churches & others - riots


The top of the front page has a two column headline: "RIOTS IN 7 SPANISH CITIES; CHURCHES LOOTED, BURNED; MARTIAL LAW IS DECLARED" with subheads. (see) First report coverage on the burning of convents in Spain. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 52 pages, light toning at the margins, generally nice.
