Original January 4, 1904 issue of The Thrice-a-Week World (New York World). This is an authentic early 20th-century newspaper, not a reproduction.
This issue features extensive period news and advertising, including major coverage of the Iroquois Theatre fire, one of the deadliest theater disasters in U.S. history, as well as sensational headlines and prominent early medical and consumer advertisements. Also included is a serialized installment of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The White Company, making this attractive to both history and literary collectors.
The newspaper is complete with multiple pages and remains intact. Condition is consistent with age — over 120 years old — showing expected toning, folds, edge wear, and general paper brittleness. No pages appear to be missing. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description.
A strong collectible for early newspaper collectors, historians, literary enthusiasts, or those interested in turn-of-the-century advertising and journalism.
