THE NEW YORK TIMES, August 28, 1935
* Artist Childe Hassam death
* American Impressionist painter
The top of page 17 has a one column heading: "CHILDE HASSAM, 75, NOTED ARTIST, DIES" with subheads and photo. (See) First report coverage on the death of Childe Hassam, American Impressionist painter, noted for his urban and coastal scenes. 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 38 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.
