An Original Vintage Newspaper Section (measures 11" x 16" [28 x 41 cm]) (Learn More)

The New York Times is a newspaper from 1851 to the present. It has the largest circulation of any daily newspaper in the United States, has won 122 Pulitzer prizes, and has been long regarded within the industry as a national newspaper of record.
Important Added Info: In the 1920s, before the New York Times had a "Sunday Magazine", they had a "Mid-Week Pictorial", which was a special rotogravure section that they published once a week. What is being auctioned here is the Mid-Week Pictorial for August 5, 1926, which is very special, because Rudolph Valentino is on the cover in boxing trunks and wearing boxing gloves. This was because he had been gravely insulted prior to this by a magazine article that said that Valentino's popularity was "feminizing" American men, and he challenged the writer of that article to a boxing match (he would have preferred a duel, as in olden times, but dueling was illegal in 1926). The boxing champion Jack Dempsey trained Valentino, and the author of the article refused to box, but the boxing writer from the paper boxed instead, and Valentino won the match, which took place around the time of this newspaper article. Little did anyone know that just 18 days later, Valentino would collapse and be taken to the hospital where he was diagnosed with appendicitis and ulcers, and despite the best medical treatment available, he passed away. This picture on the cover of this newspaper section is surely one of the last taken of him prior to his death!
