Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. This is a nicely preserved issue of the June 1903 "Cosmopolitan Illustrated Monthly Magazine" . There is a lot to digest in this old periodical. There is an article on gateways for residential structures, most of which seem to be fairly ostentatious and posh. As to women's fashions, "Floral Head…-dresses", is illustrated with photographs of young women wearing floral things on their heads. On a more serious front, Edward Everett Hale discusses Old-Age Pensions. There is a fine article on George Cadbury's creation of Bourneville, an utopian English town. "Mankind in the Making", a serialized work by H. G. Wells, is continued. There is plenty of fiction, a smattering of poetry, and a great deal of period advertising, covering just about anything you could imagine, including automobiles, cameras, typewriters, fashion, foods, medical curiosities, and more.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Of particular interest in this February 1903 issue of "The Cosmopolitan" is an early science fiction tale by Louise J. Strong, "An Unscientific Story", illustrated by E. Hering (See pictures provided above); also of interest is the first appearance of a story by cult author Octave Thanet, titled… "Beyond the Limit", which is illustrated by C. M. Relyea. Art and Crafts author, impresario, and founder of The Roycroft Press, Elbert Hubbard, wrote a piece about Leo Tolstoy. The article is illustrated with photographs. H. G. Wells is represented by his serial articles on the development of modern society; this installment is titled "The Man-Making forces of the Modern State". There is much more, including a report on the national tours undertaken by President McKinley, again, illustrated with photographs; a piece on the young Napoleon by Field - Marshall Viscount Wolseley, and a photo-illustrated puff piece on barbaric jewelry worn by celebrities of the time, including Sarah Bernhard and the Crown Princess of Romania. There are also various stories, poems and bits of literary and social news. Lots of halftone photographs and line drawings.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 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. Blaine * Monte Carlo - by H. C. Farnham (illus. by halftone photos) * After Mist in Winter - a poem by Archibald Lampman * The Beet-Root Industry - by H. S. Adams (illustrated by halftone photos) * Oriental Rugs - by S. G. W.

Crawford (illus. by halftone photos) * I Know Not if I Love thee - a poem * The Evolution of Naval Construction - by S. Eardley-Wilmot (illus. by line drawings and halftone photos -- shown are photos of the "Agincourt", the "Monarch", the "Alexandra", and a massive "Dreadnought") * JUNE 1993" … AN EARLY SCIENCE FICTION STORY BY JULIAN HAWTHORNE (Line drawings by Dan Beard) * The Unillumined Verge - a poem by Robert Bridges * Democracy and the Mother Tongue - by John Coleman Adams (illus by a line drawing) * The Great Railway Systems of the United States : The Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe - by Charles S.
