Correction: The video states that it's a 40-page set, and that the scrapbook is a separate collection. That is incorrect. As explained below, it's a single series of 61 chapters, including what's in the scrapbook and what isn't.

In 1934, to mark the 20th year since the start of World War I (1914), The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin [Newspaper] ran a daily full-page spread of amazing photographs documenting major events and themes of the Great War.

Each day's photo spread focuses on a specific theme -- for example, Refugees, Tank Warfare, America Joining the War, etc. -- with explanatory captions and text. It occupies one entire page (i.e., one side of a page), 17" x 23".

This came from an estate. The gentleman saved each day's page, from beginning to end of the series. NOTHING IS MISSING; YOU HAVE ALL 61 CHAPTERS.

He started clipping them and laying them out in a scrapbook -- getting as far as Chapter 21. The remaining 40 chapters (22 through 61) are unclipped -- still as their original full pages! So all the material is there, some in the scrapbook and some not.

[ CONDITION... ]

- The scrapbook ITSELF, being 84 years old and made of cheap Depression-era paper, is extremely fragile. The front cover has come loose, and there is chipping at the edges of the now-brittle pages, especially toward the very beginning and end of the scrapbook. (The interior pages are better, since they had less exposure to oxygen.)

- As for the newspaper photos themselves -- the ones affixed in the scrapbook, as well as the full pages -- they are not so bad. They're still old newsprint, with some fragility (some edge tears), and significant yellowing, but certainly not crumbling. I don't believe there is any paper loss with the newspaper material. Just a bit fragile.

- To be clear, the newspaper clips are affixed to the scrapbook pages with some type of 1930s-era adhesive.

- ALSO, a few of the full newspaper pages have some dark staining. (See video.) Maybe they were the ones stored on the top of the stack. Anyhow, it's just a few of them, and it does not interfere with being able to read them or enjoy the pictures.
