July 23, 1910

HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, July 23, 1910  The full front page is a photo captioned: "The Aeroplane That Made A Record Ascension - Walter Brookins and the Wright biplane which broke the world's record for altitude in a 6,175 foot ascent at Atlantic City..." with a bit more (see). It is rare to find a full front page photo devoted to the early world of manned flight.
Inside has a fullpg. political cartoon by Kemble: "Expert Opinion"; a doublepg. centerfold: "Many Hands Make Light Work". Also a bust of Mark Twain.
Complete in 24 pages, a repair to the ftpg. caption, several nonarchival mends inside, a perforated library stamp at the top of the ftpg.
