It is very ethereal to open this paper and be transported back in time to March 5, 1939 in New York. The World\'s Fair is coming, there is a new pope, clothes are $2, and there is something disturbing going on in Germany...
Note that sections 6,7,8, and 9 are not included (they weren\'t there when I got it). Section 11 does still have some cool maps and info about the upcoming World\'s Fair.
In surprisingly good shape it\'s age. There is edge where and a rip/hole on page 1.
Here is a generated description that has been proofed by me.
Excellent period coverage of the upcoming 1939 New York World’s Fair, including a building-by-building tour, transportation information, photographs and maps of the fairgrounds and surrounding Queens area. Other notable coverage includes the newly elected Pope Pius XII, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and events in prewar Europe. Numerous period advertisements throughout.
This is not a complete Sunday edition; only the nine listed sections are included. The front section has edge wear, tears and paper loss, as photographed. Interior fair-related pages are generally attractive and very displayable. Paper shows expected age toning. Please review all photographs for condition and contents.
A substantial original newspaper group for collectors of the 1939 World’s Fair, New York City history or pre-WWII Americana.
