The illustrated front cover of the Aberdeen Bon-Accord and Northern Pictorial 1932 special number.

The Aberdeen Bon-Accord and Northern Pictorial was published weekly from April 1926 until June 1959. It provided readers with news and sports items illustrated with high quality photographs.

The newspaper also published special annuals around December of each year. These would feature articles looking back at the events from the past 12 months.

This issue was published on 23rd December 1932 and features a somewhat Art Deco design. As indicated at the bottom of the page, the Aberdeen Bon-Accord and Northern Pictorial was at the time published by Henry Munro Ltd. of 22 Union Row, Aberdeen.

The tagline "With half a Century behind us" refers to the newspaper seeing itself as a continuation of the Bon-Accord newspaper first published on 3rd January 1880 by W. J. Clark, lithographer and printer at 7 Rettie's Court, 26 Broad Street.
