THE LONDON GAZETTE dated in the 1780's presented within a Deluxe Gift Portfolio!
* Over 200 years old...
This singlesheet issue is over 200 years old, and will be dated in the 1780's. Various news from London and other parts of Europe with interesting advertisements as well. This title is the oldest continuously published newspaper in the world which began in 1665 and is still in existence today. The paper you receive will not be the exact same issue shown in the photos. They are stock photos showing the typical look, condition, etc. of the issue you will receive. Actual dates vary, but will all be as described.
The issue is presented within an attractive black buffalo grain portfolio with a decorative mahogany left spine. It includes the Timothy Hughes Rare & Early Newspapers logo stamped in gold leaf on the front cover and is constructed using acid-free archival quality materials. The newspaper is placed within an inner transparent sleeve for protection and display. Makes a great presentation for that extra special gift!
A complete newspaper measuring about 7 by 11 1/2 inches and is in great condition. Although there may be a small amount of foxing or light staining due to age, they are in remarkably great condition due to the use of "rag" paper - paper made with a high linen content (no wood pulp). A very early collectible newspaper.
