Various topics throughout. Complete with 20 pages, a little spine wear, generally nice.

Background: This specific December 7, 1913 issue of the New York Tribune Sunday Magazine is a notable piece of American Golden Age illustration art because its cover art—titled "Dances of the Nations (Dutch)" or The Matelot of Holland—belongs to a celebrated serialized suit created by husband-and-wife artist duo Troy and Margaret West Kinney ("The Kinneys"). Created at the height of the Kinneys' career when they were traveling the globe to study dance, these full-color original covers were considered so culturally and artistically significant that the publisher, Associated Sunday Magazines, paired with the American Lithographic Company to re-issue them as a limited-edition lithograph portfolio in 1914. Complete newsprint copies are genuinely rare survivors on the antique market today—most 110-year-old wood-pulp Sunday supplements were discarded or lost to degradation, and those that did survive were frequently disbound and trimmed for framing, making intact, whole-issue copies with vibrant color retention particularly scarce.
