Lot of Cosmopolitan Magazines 1897-1906
<B>Large Group of <I>The Cosmopolitan Magazine</B></I> 1897-1906 With H. G. Wells Serializations.</B></I> In its infancy, <I>The Cosmopolitan</B></I> bore little resemblance to the iconic women's magazine it has become. Started in 1886 as a "first class" family magazine, it featured articles on fashion, management of children, and under the editorship of John Brisben Walker, it became a leading market for fiction. Included in the 17 issues of this lot are serializations by H.G. Wells, including the July, October, and November 1897 issues containing part of the serialization for <I>The War of the Worlds,</B></I> the May and June 1901 issues with part of the serialization of <I>The First Men in the Moon,</B></I> and several installments of <I>The Food of the Gods.</B></I> All issues are in very good condition with the usual toning to the covers and chipping at the spine. However, the internal contents are bright and sound.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
