THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 13, 1929
* Stock Market Crash of 1929
* Wall Street anxiety continues
* Best title to have in
The stock market crash of 1929 did much to define America for the next decade, resulting in the Great Depression and all the trauma relating to it. It seemed common for many newspapers to put a positive spin on the on-going tragedy, so front page reports often conflicted with the reality of the time.
Given that the stock exchange is in New York City, the "Times" remains one of the most desired of all newspapers on the crash.
Ther top of the front page has a two column headline: "STOCKS SINK TO NEW LOWS; SELLING PUZZLES WALL ST.; GRAIN AND COTTON ALSO OFF" with subheads. (see images) Much more on page 2. Loads of text, way too much to photograph here.
And the many pages within this issue provide a fascinating glimpse of life during those tumultuous weeks.
Fifty-four pages, a few cutouts on unrelated inside pages, light toning, a little margin wear, otherwise good.
