Since Howie Cohen's passing, no items are for sale.
The title of this Magazine (Periodical) is St NICHOLAS, for-young-folks, conducted by Mary-Mapes-Dodge. It was published by the Century Co of Union Square, new York. This is not the complete publication but it does contain two complete interesting bicycle articles plus some other articles & pages. (1) *THE STORY OF THE WHEEL* by by Frank H. Vizetelly on pages 443-455. A rare early and very well written article about the history and evolution of the bicycle. It is well illustrated. Based upon its early publication it is probable that this article was the factual base for many articles written after 1898. (2) *THE LAKERIM ATHLETIC CLUB* by Rupert Hughes on pages 478-485. This story began in the December issue and is to be continued here (chapter V and VI) and in the next issue. Bicycle Polo is described in detail and illustrated. There is an exciting illustration on page-484 of one of the boys riding in the rain; the caption is THE FELLOW LEAPED UP FROM A FENCE-CORNER TO HEAD HIM OFF. Very interesting reading! The dimensions are 7 1/2 x 10 inches. See the picture gallery for the pages of the two articles. Click on the thumbnail pictures to see greatly enlarged, easy to read images.
