Sept. 1888 Century CIVIL WAR Passenger Pigeons Illust.

The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, Vol. XXXVI, No. 5 (September 1888). Pictorial wraps, 10 x 7 in., approx. 157 pages plus 62 pages of ads, illustrated throughout. Typical light handling wear (mainly to edges; loss to bottom of spine), and marginal tear to two leaves, otherwise clean and near fine.

An interesting issue of this important periodical, well-known for its wide range of topics, wealth of illustrations, and eminent contributors. A sampling of the articles (most illustrated) included: "The Mississippi and Shiloh" (Civil War) by John Nicolay and John Hay, secretaries to Abraham Lincoln"Doves" (with several handsome illustrations and a section on passenger pigeons, with large image)"College Fraternities" (with images from Harvard, Yale, University of Michigan, Amherst, Williams, and elsewhere)"Hard Times in the Confederacy" (interesting, detailed article on privations in the South during the Civil War)"Sidereal Astronomy, Old and New: The Results It Has Obtained"...and more

Among the dozens of ads are numerous graphic examples for all manner of products, including toiletries, patent medicines, pianos, furniture, architectural elements and details (including decorative brick and wooden fretwork), hardware, sporting goods, typewriters, sewing machines, clothing and accessories, and more.

PAYMENT/SHIPPING: Successful U.S. bidder pays $4.00 for carefully packed shipping (international bidders: inquire for rates); PayPal. I will gladly combine shipping for items purchased in the same calendar week (i.e., Sunday to Saturday). Please see my other auctions for vintage books, including other issues of this 19th-century periodical, photos, artwork, and historical and advertising memorabilia.
