Description

From the seller
Original The Visitor magazine, Volume 1, Number 1, published May 28, 1890 in Salem, Massachusetts by O.W.H. Upham. This scarce inaugural issue contains original articles, poetry, fiction, illustrations, and advertisements documenting life in Salem during the late 19th century. Highlights include an article on Southern California, artwork by Arthur Dow, local history, and numerous period advertisements from Salem businesses. Condition is Good overall with age-related wear including edge tears, corner chips, creasing, and light soiling. Interior pages are complete and display well. Please review all photos for condition. An uncommon piece of Massachusetts, Salem, and Americana ephemera that would make an excellent addition to any collection.
