Item # 717066
July 07, 1905
THE EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, July 7, 1905
* Russian battleship Potemkin
* Mutiny by the crew ends
* Prelude to the Russian Revolution
The top of the front page has a two column headline: "POTEMKINE FLEES FROM THE FLEET" with subhead. (see) Surprisingly this issue is in good condition being from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in paper.
Complete with 6 pages, small library stamps within the masthead, a little irregular along the spine, generally very nice.
AI notes: The Potemkin mutiny took place on June 27, 1905, when sailors on the Russian battleship rebelled against their officers over poor conditions and spoiled food. Led by Afanasy Matyushenko, the crew killed some officers and took control of the ship, later sailing to Odessa to support striking workers. The mutiny became a key symbol of the 1905 Russian Revolution before the crew eventually fled to Romania.
