THE LONDON GAZETTE, England, May 4, 1676
* Earliest of English language newspapers to be had
* The endless European wars...
Page 2 has a report from Brussels which mentions an early version of one of the Treaties of Nijmegen - which helped to bring temporary peace between numerous countries in Europe. See images for details. Other reports from throughout the world are also present.
This is the world's oldest continually published English language newspaper, having begun in 1665 and is still printing in London to this day. And this is a very early, genuine issue. As was the case with most newspapers of the 17th century, this is complete as a single sheet, measuring 6 1/2 by 10 3/4 inches and printed on very high quality paper with much cotton & linen fiber content.
The issue is filled with various news of the day from various cities in Europe, each report with its own dateline, and even includes several "Advertisements" on the back page. Still in very nice condition. Given its small size this would be a nice newspaper for framing & display with the 338 year old date prominent at the top.
