Aerial Combat WWI Zeppelin vs. (Old Magazines, Early 20th Century Newspapers, Dirigibles, Aerial Combat, Warplanes, The Graphic, Politics, Current Events). The Graphic: An Illustrated Newspaper. Published May 23rd, 1915, London by H. Nice assortment of dated advertising as well, often illustrated. With a little known and quite nice birds-eye view map of ephemeral cartography, "The Kaiser's Vanishing Dreams of Dominion". This interesting map captures German SW Africa as it then existed, showing areas then occupied by Union forces.

Another full page map with vignettes relates to northern borders which needed to be "Rectified". Two other full page maps depict the historical growing "black hand grip" of Prussia. Great early 20th century WWI era current events magazine with pleasing visual content. Nicer than typical issue with four full page maps plus a dramatic zeppelin cover. Overall a nice looking example.

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

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, staples rusty, centerfold detached. 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.
