November 22, 1802

NEW-YORK EVENING POST, November 22, 1802 The ftpg. has a notice about the "King Of Beasts" which includes a nice woodcut of a lion (see inset). Gives details about where to see a local display this "beautiful African Lion", plus mention that he was caught "in the woods of Goree, in Africa".
Other news of the day and advertisements, including several illustrated ship ads, are within as well.
Complete in four pages with lite rubbing in unrelated text, otherwise in very good condition.
