FLIER OF THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF MUSICIncluded in this sale is a 4 page flier for the National Academy of Music which was located at 470 Fourth Avenue in New York. Page dimensions are 8-11/16 x 11-3/16 inches. The document is broken down into the following 8 sections. Executive BoardEditorial DepartmentEducational DepartmentExtension DepartmentThe Service BureausPrivileges and FeesCertificationsThe Advisory Board Although no date is printed on the flier, an approximate date was determined as follows: The date of death was researched for each of the 12 active members listed on “The Advisory Board” picture 16. The earliest date of death would be the last date all 12 members would be alive at the same time. Mortimer Wilson had the earliest date which was January 27, 1932. As such, it could be concluded the flier date had to be no later than 1932. CONDITIONThe flier shows some edge wear as well as some overall deterioration consistent with paper being about 90 years old. The upper right corner of the first page has a circular stain which could have been caused by a liquid container with a wet bottom being placed on the flier (picture 13). Although not as visible, the stain seeped onto pages 2 and 3 (pictures 14 and 15). BOOK DESCRIPTIONThe list below is a description of each book. Included are the theme, volume number, range of page numbers, photo title, and notes of interest. The first entry in each book is a black & white picture relating to the theme of the book (picture 12). There is a piece of tissue paper protecting the picture which is part of the book binding.
