for those of you not familiar with the Sphere it is similar to Illustrated London News but superior, while ILN used second rate illustrations in this time period of the early 20th Century, the Sphere featured superb and rare high definition photos, most of the photos you will see in ILN in this time period are heavily and crudely retouched. the Sphere is truly a magnificent publication and Very RARE
