THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE, Philadelphia, PA, June 16, 1757  * The famous Benjamin Franklin newspaper  * Chance to buy at a minimal price  A quite early colonial newspaper published by none other than the world famous Benjamin Franklin, although the "advertising leaf" which appeared with this issue, and upon which was the imprint of "B. Franklin", is not here as it was typically not bound with the issue since it carried only ads. On page 2 under "Williamsburg" is a report about a conference between an Agent of Indian Affairs and the leaders of the Catawba Indian nation. Includes a speech made by "King Heigler", the leader of the Catawbas, and the reply of the Indian Agent. Also has a report about a reward given for the scalps of two Indian boys. Page 3 has several notices for military deserters, plus ad offering a reward for a runaway "...Negro Man, named Christmas...". Has an ornate engraving in the masthead. Trimmed a bit uneven at the top, some lite foxing. A great opportunity for a newspaper owned and printed by Benjamin Franklin without the much higher price commanded by issues with the imprint. Note: A photocopy of the page from the book "Benjamin Franklin's Philadelphia Printing" is included, verifying this issue was printed by Ben Franklin.

HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, Jan. 15, 1870  Certainly the most historic or noteworthy print in this issue is the somewhat nondescript political cartoon by famed artist Thomas Nast on the back page titled: "A Live Jackass Kicking a Dead Lion". Its significance is that this is the very first appearance of the Democratic Donkey, which has remained the image of the Democratic party to this day. Thomas Nast is credited with creating both the Democratic donkey and the Republican elephant, as well as the modern version of Santa Claus. Also within this issue is a full front page print: "Worn Out" showing a young girl; a halfpg. print: "The Mortuary Chapel on Board the 'Monarch' " with the coffin of George Peabody; a nearly halfpg. print of the ship 'Monarch'; a doublepage centerfold with 2 prints: "A Dream Of Toys" and "The Dream Realized". Also of some significance is the nice full page print captioned: "High Priest at Nablus Readuing the Pentateuch" which shows a rabbi (see). There is a related  article on the facing page.
