Julian Byng death... Governor General of Canada...



Item # 639176

June 07, 1935

THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 7, 1935

* Julian Byng, 1st Viscount Byng of Vimy
* 12th Governor General of Canada
* British Army officer


The front page has a one column heading: "BRITAIN LOSES HERO AS LORD BYNG DIES" with subheads. (see) Lengthy first report coverage continues inside with photo. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 44 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.
