WILFORD'S LITERARY MICROCOSM, New York, November, 1881  See the photos for what must be one of the "busiest" and largest mastheads of the 19th century--or any century for that matter. There are no fewer than 60 images in this masthead with a huge variety of themes.
This is the volume 1, number 4 issue. The publisher considered his periodical "a religio-scientific monthly magazine devoted to the discoveries, theories & investigations of modern science in their bearing on the religious thought of the age." The content is overwhelmed by the masthead--an intriguing, scarce title.
Eight pages, 12 by 18 inches, some wear at the fold and margins.
