**Item Details:** - **Publication:** Scientific American (The Weekly Journal of Practical Information) - **Issue Date:** November 30, 1912 (Volume CVII, Number 22) - **Featured Cover Art:** "Five hundred feet above New York. THE MODERN INDUSTRIAL DAREDEVIL." An iconic, breathtaking photograph capturing a high-altitude construction worker suspended by a cable high above the early 20th-century New York City skyline. (Copyright 1912 by Underwood & Underwood). - **Back Cover Advertisement:** A beautifully colored, full-page illustration for Fatima Turkish Blend Cigarettes ("Distinctively Individual") by Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co. The artistic graphic depicts a scientist/professor type at a microscope taking a smoking break, marketed explicitly to "brain workers." **Condition:** This is an authentic, original cover sheet from 1912—not a reproduction. It features remarkable visual contrast for its age. The paper shows mild, natural toning, faint creasing, and minor edge fraying/softness typical of antique newsprint. A small smudge/spot is present on the right margin of the front cover. The color ad on the back remains vibrant and beautifully preserved. Please inspect all high-resolution photos for exact edge and surface condition. **Shipping & Handling:** Packaged flat in an archival-safe clear sleeve and reinforced inside a heavy, rigid cardboard mailer to guarantee it arrives completely protected against bending during transit.
