THE CAPTAIN A Magazine For Boys And Old Boys [Complete 50 volume run April 1899 - March 1924]

Exceptionally scarce complete run of The Captain, the popular boys' magazine which ran from April 1999 to March 1924. 50 volumes bound in 44, with one volume (8) duplicated. Mixed bindings, mainly publisher's pictorial cloth, and in general good order throughout with just a couple poorly repaired. Toning to stock commensurate with paper age and quality; some loose pages and occasional shaken bindings, but this rare and for the most part all is sound. This is the set used by author and bibliographer Chris Harte to compile his authoritative history and bibliography of the magazine. Weight c.65Kg so please enquire re shipping. Additional photographs and further information on request.
