Humorist Kin Hubbard death...



Item # 629890

December 27, 1930

THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 27, 1930

* Kin McKinney Hubbard death (1st report)
* American cartoonist, humorist & journalist
* "Abe Martin of Brown County" creator


Page 13 has a one column heading: "KIN HUBBARD DIES; FAMOUS HUMORIST" with subheads and photo. (see) I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 30 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.
