NEW YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, May 2, 1854 This is an interesting issue, and an opportunity for newspaper with an article written by--and signed by-- Karl Marx, the communists revolutionary would become more famous after his death than during his lifetime.
Marx spent most of his life in exile, part of which was in London where he joined the Communist League. As noted in the website "The History Guide": "...during the first half of the 1850s the Marx family lived in poverty in a three room flat in the Soho quarter of London. Marx and Jenny already had four children and two more were to follow. Marx's major source of income at this time was Engels who was trying a steadily increasing income from the family business in Manchester. This was supplemented by weekly articles written as a foreign correspondent for the New York Daily Tribune ."
We offer one such issue, containing o page 6 a lengthy column headed: "The State Of Europe--from our own correspondent" and is signed in type: Karl Marx. A rare opportunity for a piece of Karl Marx history, whose Communist Manifesto would be the political and social foundation for many countries. Until quite recently almost half the population of the world lived under regimes that claim to be Marxist.
Complete in 8 pages, very nice condition.
