All of page 2 is devoted to the complete text of the death announcement, the black-bordered head at the top: "Mourning with deepest grief the passing away of the Great Leader and Great Teacher, Chairman Mao Tsetung."
Collectors prize notable events reported in newspaper from the city where the event happened. Mao died in Beijing.
