🗞️ HARPER'S WEEKLY · October 29, 1898 Complete Issue · New York ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A collector's issue combining one of A.B. Frost's most sought-after golf illustrations with President McKinley's visit to the Trans-Mississippi Exposition, American regulars occupying Puerto Rico's Mayagüez, a prisoner exchange, and Illinois labor unrest. Two of the era's most collectable subjects — early American golf and Spanish-American War — appear together in a single complete issue that is actively sought by collectors on both fronts. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⛳ A.B. FROST — "TOURNAMENT DAY — THE LOST BALL" ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⛳ FULL PAGE — "TOURNAMENT DAY — THE LOST BALL" — BY A.B. FROST A full-page golf illustration by A.B. Frost — one of the most actively collected of all his golf works, showing golfers and their caddy searching through the grass for a lost ball during tournament play. This exact print — "GOLF TOURNAMENT DAY THE LOST BALL BY A. B. FROST 1898" — is actively sold as a collectible on the secondary market, confirming its desirability among golf art collectors. Frost was himself a regular golfer at the Morristown County Golf Club in New Jersey and brought unmatched authenticity and humor to his golf illustrations, which capture the sport's peculiar blend of aspiration and frustration better than any other artist of the era. Arthur Burdett Frost (1851-1928) joined Harper & Brothers in 1876 and worked alongside Frederic Remington, Howard Pyle, and E.W. Kemble as one of the great illustrators of the Gilded Age. He was admitted posthumously to the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 1985 and is best known today for his Uncle Remus illustrations and his sporting prints — of which his golf work is among the most actively collected. This is the third Frost golf illustration in Harper's Weekly within six weeks — following "I've Played Thirteen!" on September 17 — reflecting the explosive growth of golf in late 1890s America. This original full-page print from the complete issue is the actual publication source. An original print — not a reproduction — of a work that is actively sold at secondary market as a collectible. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎖️ PRESIDENT McKINLEY AT THE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI EXPOSITION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏛️ FULL PAGE — "PRESIDENT McKINLEY'S VISIT TO THE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI EXPOSITION AT OMAHA, OCTOBER 12, 1898" A full-page illustration of President William McKinley's visit to the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition in Omaha — one of the most significant political events of the fair's run. McKinley arrived just after the war's conclusion, and his visit to Omaha became a victory lap for his administration's prosecution of the war and acquisition of the new territories. A significant piece of presidential history and World's Fair history. 🌎 FULL PAGE — "THE PRESIDENT'S WESTERN TRIP — SCENES ALONG THE ROUTE" A full page of scenes from McKinley's western railroad journey to Omaha — a vivid piece of turn-of-the-century presidential travel and public life. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇵🇷 PUERTO RICO — MAYAGÜEZ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🪖 DOUBLE-PAGE CENTERFOLD — "SCHWAN'S REGULARS ON THE PLAZA AT MAYAGÜEZ, PUERTO RICO" A double-page centerfold of American regular Army troops — Schwan's brigade — assembled on the plaza at Mayagüez, Puerto Rico's third-largest city on the west coast of the island. General Theodore Schwan had led the western column of Miles's four-pronged Puerto Rico invasion, capturing Mayagüez on August 11 in one of the sharpest engagements of the campaign. This centerfold captures American troops occupying the city's central plaza — a primary document of American military occupation of Puerto Rico in its first weeks, and a significant piece of Puerto Rican history. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🖼️ INSIDE THE ISSUE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏛️ FULL FRONT PAGE — "IN A PUERTO RICAN PRISON" A full front-page illustration of a Puerto Rican prison — a vivid and unusual piece of Puerto Rican social and institutional history under the first weeks of American administration. 🤝 FULL PAGE — "AN EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS" A full-page illustration of a prisoner exchange — a significant and humanitarian piece of the war's formal conclusion, as American and Spanish forces exchanged POWs in the aftermath of the ceasefire. ⚒️ HALF PAGE — "THE SCENE OF THE ILLINOIS LABOR TROUBLES" A half-page illustration of the Illinois labor troubles — a significant piece of Gilded Age labor history and Midwest industrial conflict, reflecting the economic tensions that persisted even amid the patriotic fervor of the war. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 CONDITION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I photograph every page of every issue so you can inspect the condition closely before purchasing.
