<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Squidsworth, post: 519857, member: 3587&quot;]Hi All</p><p><br /></p><p>I have what I think maybe something of a rarity.&nbsp; In amongst a folder of periodicals I recently obtained, I found a copy of &quot;The Empress&quot; periodical published by Thacker, Spink and Co. in Calcutta.&nbsp; Issue is June 1900, no.2. </p><p><br /></p><p>First of all I cant find a single other example online.&nbsp; The closest are a couple of library references, to later volumes.&nbsp; In fact one library actually sited that 1902 was the earliest known copy, going to 1914.&nbsp; Obviously not, as here is one dated 1900.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not only that, but it just so happens to feature Field Marshall Lord Roberts on the cover, along with a piece of him discussing the boer? war on the inside front page.&nbsp; As well as that, it has some good photos of the horse racing and track in Calcutta.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I know its probably not right to discuss value, but I think its worth asking the question is this likely to have any value, as I&#039;d rather not let it go for a few quid if its worth a lot more. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks</p><p>Paul</p><p>[ATTACH=full]166936[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166937[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166938[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
