The front page has a one column heading: "PICCARD RISES TEN MILES INTO SKY; A RECORD" with subhead and related illustration. Two photos are on the back page. First report coverage on the end of the record breaking balloon flight continues on page 2 with related 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 30 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.A few small binding holer along the spine.
