THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 10, 1934

* Oskar von Miller death
* Deutsches  Museum founder


The top of page 23 has a one column heading: "DR. VON MILLER DIES; MUSEUM FOUNDER" with subheads and photo. (see) First report coverage on the death of German engineer, Oskar von Miller, founder of the Deutsches Museum. 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 46 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.
