Description: Thick folio, leather spine and corners, illustrated. Covers detached and several front and rear pages are attached to covers, which makes volume partially disbound, volume is heavy and thick, which put too much pressure on joints and binding, missing upper portion of backstrip, binding worn in places; internally bright and clean. Rather scarce edition of Harper's that is packed with photographs and illustrations. Good coverage of the Spanish American War. A few illustrations by Remington, and since this volume actually includes the first week of 1899, the first part of a series by H.G. Wells, "When the Sleeper Wakes", is included. There is also a Stockton story, which has some color illustrations in the 1898 Christmas issue, but pagination is incorrect. Like other copies it shows pages 1235-1239 as missing, however, the story and volume are complete. Photographs of Pope Leo XIII and the Harvard football team can also be found in this volume.Extra postage required.
