THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, November 2, 1929
* The great stock market crash of 1929
* 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.
A front page report is headed: "Brokers Clear Up Tangles Of Record Wall St. Week; Expect Orderly Market" with subheads: "Rapid Headway Is Made" "Street Busy on Holiday With Exchange Open to Adjust Deals" "Favorable View Dominant" "Talk of Closing Monday" and more (see). And the many pages within provide a fascinating glimpse of life during those tumultuous weeks.
Thirty-six pages, various cutouts throughout including one on the front page, all unrelated to crash content. I assume this was due to a period school project. light toning and a little wear at the margins as well.
