* Marchese Guglielmo Marconi death (1st report)

This 46 page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page: "MARCONI IS DEAD OF HEART ATTACK", "Wireless Inventor Succumbs at His Home in Rome at the Age of 63", "HIS CAREER STARTED AT 21" and "He Patented His System in 1896 and Then Went From Success to Success".

Coverage continues inside with nice photo of Marconi. Too much to photograph. See photos for some of the text.

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day throughout. Rag edition in great condition.
