A large folio volume containing a collection of daily issues of The Cleveland Press newspaper spanning July and August 1940. The volume is quarter-bound in tan cloth with marbled paper-covered boards. The spine features the title Cleveland Press and the date range July - Aug. 1940 stamped in black ink. Provenance is indicated by a circular Library of Congress stamp at the base of the spine surrounding an eagle emblem, accompanied by the handwritten archival number 9278.
