First edition, the offprint issue of this significant paper following immediately from Meitner and Frisch's discovery of fission, which had been announced in Nature in January of the same year. A lovely copy.

Here, Meitner and Frisch investigate the unstable transuranic elements (those with atomic numbers greater than 92), confirming that they are indeed the products of the fission of uranium and thorium.

14-page offprint, wire-stitched; graphs within the text, contents unopened, red offsetting from wrappers to title; original red wrappers printed in black, a little fading at the edges, an excellent copy.
