Nicholson Baker and Margaret Brentano's The World on Sunday is a spectacular selection
of pages reproduced from the New York World at the turn of the last century.
The World was the creation of Joseph Pulitzer. Baker and Brentano rescued a bound run
of the World from the British Library, which was ditching its print holdings in a fit
of modernizing.
The World on Sunday reproduces (about 9-by-11 inches) pages from the Sunday edition's
humor, comics, magazine and features sections. The book's subtitle is Graphic Art in
Joseph Pulitzer's Newspaper (18981911), so the emphasis is on the illustrations rather
than news coverage.
In 1898, as part of a larger strategy to transform his New York
World newspaper, Joseph Pulitzer bought a high-speed color printing press--seventy
tons, with forty thousand moving parts. Commanding the latest in printing technology,
the World produced grand full-color illustrated stories.
This volume came from the collection of a discrete owner.
The book has been gently read, and the pages are clean and bright with gentle light wear to it's cover.
