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.
