Commemorative edition

For today’s Nevada section front page, we went back in time. Page designer Carly Forsht used fonts approximating those used in the Review-Journal’s early 20th century self, the Las Vegas Age (see an image of the July 3, 1909, Page One below). She also copied the design styles of the time — long columns of text, multiple headlines with each story and no photos. For John L. Smith’s column, R-J artist David Stroud produced a pencil drawing of what Smith might have looked like had he lived at the turn of the century.
