THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 20, 1933

* Hagia Sophia Mosque
* Thomas Whittemore
* Christian mosaics discovery


The top of page has a one column heading: "AMERICAN REVEALS SANTA SOPHIA'S ART" with subheads and related photo (fuzzy). (see) Coverage on Thomas Whittemore uncovering christian mosaics inside the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey.
Other news, sports and advertisement of the day. Complete in 34 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.
