Alfred Yarrow death... shipbuilders...



Item # 630731

January 25, 1932

THE NEW YORK TIMES, January 25, 1932

* Alfred Yarrow death
* British shipbuilders


Page 17 has a one column heading: "SIR ALFRED YARROW, SHIPBUILDER, 90, DIES" with subheads and photo. (see) First report coverage on the death of Sir Alfred Fernandez Yarrow, 1st Baronet. 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 38 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.
