The top of the front page has a five column headline: "SHOUTING MOBS RIOT ALL NIGHT IN PARIS, STORM CHAMBER, DEMAND GOVERNMENT RESIGN; POLICE FIRE AT THEM, 10 KILLED, 500 INJURED" with subheads and photo. (see) Lengthy text continues inside with more photos. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 40 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.
