THE LONDON GAZETTE, Jan. 1, 1693   This issue is from the era which predates the first successful newspaper in America, which did not begin publishing until 1704. If this significant report is to be found in a period newspaper it would likely only be found in this famous title from England.
The photo shows the back page report covering the nomination of Colonel Francis Nicholson, the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and Maryland, to be the "... Governor in Chief of the said Province of Maryland...".
A very rare and early reference to colonial politics in America. Single sheet with lite foxing, otherwise in very good condition.
