Beautiful & colorful front cover...



Item # 561718

March 03, 1892

FRANK LESLIE'S ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY, New York, March 3, 1892

* Rare 19th century use of color

The front page of this issue is very colorful and shows several art admirers, captioned: "Reception Day at An Artist's Studio".  Done in full color--unusual for front pages at this time--it makes a very nice display item.

Among the many photos and prints within include one of: "Sarah Bernhardt Talking Into the New Micro-Graphophone" with a related article headed: "The Phonograph and Its Improvements" which begins: "Since Edison first brought out his wonderful machine called the phonograph, it has attracted great interest with the general public..." with much more (see for portions).

Never bound nor trimmed and in very nice condition.
