See the ornate and huge masthead...
THE ESSEX JOURNAL & THE MASSACHUSETTS & NEW-HAMPSHIRE GENERAL ADVERTISER, Sept. 24, 1784
- Very rare publication w/ great masthead
This has to be one of the deepest mastheads of the era, with frilly script type in the top portion of it. A very graphic issue for display.
The content is quite typical from this era just after the Revolutionary War. There are many mends inside both old & recent (archival), never bound nor trimmed, toned at the top quadrant.
