Item # 650749

October 02, 1936

THE NEW YORK TIMES, October 2, 1936

* Francisco Franco
* Caudillo of Spain
* Military dictator
* Spanish Civil War


The top of the front page has a one column heading: "INSURGENTS NAME FRANCO DICTATOR IN AN ARMY REGIME" with subheads. (see) First report coverage on Francisco Franco becoming Caudillo of Spain. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete with all 52 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.
