THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 24, 1931
* Wilson Bentley death (1st report)
* 1st known photographer of snowflakes
Page 17 has a one column heading: "WILSON A. BENTLEY, SNOW EXPERT, DEAD" with subheads. (see) First report coverage on the death of Wilson Alwyn "Snowflake" Bentley, known for photographing snowflakes up close. 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.
