[This item is part of the Sir Harry Luke – Archive / Collection]. New York, New York Commercial, 1903. 27 cm x 20 cm. [22] pages. Original Hardcover. Harry Luke’s (Lukach) personal copy. Cockling to pages, rubbing to boards. Otherwise in excellent condition. Harry Luke must have taken this very first job at the New York paper shortly after leaving Eton and prior to joining Trinity College. The New York Commercial was also the first stop for investigative journalist Joseph Lincoln Steffens. Luke’s scrapbook of articles lets us already see his talent in summarizing events and getting to the point ! The job was clearly based on his father’s connections in New York and Luke must have quickly realized it was not for him !

The annotations and the clippings of articles of the New York Commercial suggest that Harry Charles Luke worked there from February 9th, 1903 to May 23rd, 1903 and that the clippings are most likely the articles he worked on.
