THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 4, 1947  

* Partition of India
* Mountbatten Plan


The top of the front page has a one column heading: "BRITAIN ACHIEVES SOLUTION IN INDIA; LEADERS ACCEPT IT" with subheads and related map. (see) Much more on the following pages, lengthy text. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 56 pages, lthis 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.
