NG Pictorial Supplements

These supplements were "Tipped In" (lightly glued) into issues until 1918 when all supplements became loose inserts. Where Pictorial  Supplements were available separately, a magazine advertisement is shown here which made it available rather than the actual pictorial. These show information about the various seperate versions available.    Back to the Link Page

This is the first pictorial in an issue. NGS did not make it a candidate for rolled or framed sales.
