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
