Thirteenth Edition of Encyclopedia Britannica
The first photograph below shows most of a set of the thirteenth edition (1926) of the Encyclopedia Britannica.
This edition has basically the same content as the famous eleventh edition (1910/1911) plus a supplement. Each book in this version contains two volumes of the encyclopedia and is about two thousand pages long. Four additional books (eight volumes’ worth) are on another shelf and are not shown here. I bought this version after reading an article about the eleventh in the March 2, 1981, issue of the New Yorker magazine. A screenshot of the archived version of that article appears below.
The eleventh edition can be read in its entirety online.
