Description
San Juan, Puerto Rico: Jack Vandermeyer, 1936. Paperback. Very Good. illustrations (some color), photos and 2 maps, 47, [1]p. Softcover in original wrapper. 31 cm. Some cover soiling scuffing and wear. Internally sound and clean with some minor corner curling. Not found in OCLC although the Universidad de Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras seems to have a copy. The New York Times Book Review of July 5, 1936 gave a paragraph to the English language magazine's debut. We found nothing to definitive as to whether any additional issues were published. We also had difficulty finding much about Mr. Vandemeyer, the editor and publisher. The front cover illustration and one of the other color illustrations in this issue were done by Eliza Bellows King Dooley, 1880–1958, who is also listed (as Mrs. Henry W. Dooley) as Art Director for this periodical. Her Wikipedia entry offers some details about her life in Puerto Rico and elsewhere as an American government official, artist, and writer.
