THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 18, 1928

* World record single-day auction sale of art
* Christie's sale breaks record
* Rembrandts (4), Van Dyck, Rubens, etc. 

The front page tells of the to-date record for a single-day auction of art - held at Christie's, London. The article continues on to page 3. See images for details.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 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. A few small binding slits along the spine, nice condition.
