New York, New York: Century Company, 1887. First Edition. Stiff Printed Wraps. Very Good. Single issue, Small quarto, 10" tall, pages 497 to 656 + 56 ads, stiff illustrated wraps. A very good, clean, sturdy soft cover magazine with minor shelf wear, light exterior surface soiling to the cover, back strip darkening with some chipping at top and bottom of spine; internal binding solid, paper clean and lightly yellowed. This is an original copy with all of the editorial material and advertisements. Note: 'The Century Magazine' was retitled from the earlier 'Scribner's Monthly' (thus the 'New Series' title statement) in 1881, with new management, under the editorship of the great Richard Watson Gilder, carrying forward its high standards for illustration and the best authors. Subject matters range from art, fiction, and poetry to history and science. As such it makes a terrific read as an anthology of its moment in time.
