Dr. Robert Abbe death... surgeon & radiologist...



Item # 649948

March 08, 1928

THE NEW YORK TIMES, March 8, 1928

* Dr. Robert Abbe death
* Surgeon - radiologist
* Bar Harbor, Maine


The top of page 25 has a one column heading: "DR. ROBERT ABBE, SURGEON, DIES AT 77" with subheads and photo. (see) First report coverage on the death of Robert Abbe, American surgeon and pioneer radiologist. 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 52 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.
