Cyber Monday Steal Norman Rockwell Winking Doctor Sick Child 1916 Frank Leslie's Complete Issue (new) [V8oWpuBl]

(Old Newspapers, 20th Century Newspapers, WWI, Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, Norman Rockwell, Doctor Visit, Soldiers, Italy, Austria).

Leslie's Illustrated Weekly Newspaper.
Published October 3rd, 1916, New York by Leslie-Judge Co.
22 pages. Text in English. Illustrated throughout. Nice assortment of dated advertising as well, often illustrated.

Nice early 20th century American news magazine with pleasing visual content. Includes an article by Teddy Roosevelt and one on dirigibles (shooting down a Zeppelin).

A very early color magazine cover by Rockwell when he was still a young man. The first of only six covers he did for Colliers, all of which are elusive today. Done just a few months after his first cover for Saturday Eve. Post.

Binding still tight, and sound, cover with light soiling and creasing, spine toned, corners dog eared within, various mostly small signs of age, time and handling, nothing offensive or major. Overall a nice looking example.

Small age flaws or defects include possible random old creasing, edge chipping, small light old staining, etc. Overall entirely acceptable example of what is a scarce survival. The pictures give a very good sense of how the item survives.

Virtually all periodicals of this era are somewhat scarce today as loose complete issues. Like most random survivals of old periodical printing, any specific example (like this one) is likely among a relative handful still extant. As each decade goes back from 1950, the rate of scarcity for any specific magazine or paper item increases noticeably.

Text block remains overall clean, and displays a pleasing age patina.

Magazine remains attractive on the shelf. It displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this antique item survives. This item is not new- it is old and has been handled by different owners in the past.

Magazine Measures c. 14" H x 11" W.
