Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Dan Beard, George Wharton Edwards (illustrator). This is a well preserved copy of the February 1893 "Cosmopolitan Illustrated Monthly Magazine". For many collectors and fans of science fiction, the main thing in this issue is an early science fiction story by Julian Hawthorne titled "June 1993" in which the protagonist visits the United States 100 years in the future. That meant 1993. The author imagines a vastly different world, including boat-like vehicles that travel through the air, high above the landscape. In one of the fine illustrations by Dan Beard (of Boy Scouts fame) a group of people are on a luxury cruise in the flying boat. They look much like an assortment of hippies and bohemians. Julian Hawthorne was the son of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Sophia Peabody. See the Table of Contents, provided below for a complete list of the issue's contents. There is also a huge amount of Victorian era advertising, of which I've only been able to show a small portion. TABLE OF CONTENTS * Frontispiece : a halftone photo portrait of James G.
