Sir Ronald Ross death... malaria fame...



Item # 632302

September 17, 1932

THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 17, 1932

* Sir Ronald Ross death
* Malaria - mosquitoes


Page 15 has a one column heading: "SIR RONALD ROSS, MALARIA'S FOE, DIES" with subheads. (see) First report coverage on the death of Ronald Ross, British medical doctor who received the Nobel Prize for Medicine for his work on the transmission of malaria. 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 32 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.
