August 24, 1810
COLUMBIAN CHRONICLE, Philadelphia, Aug. 24, 1810 See the photo for perhaps the largest heraldic eagle engraving to be found in a masthead, the wingspan stretching nearly 7 inches. But unfortunately there is a wear hole in the right wing of the eagle, and other rubbing wear causing this to be a "2nd rate" issue. Never bound nor trimmed, complete in 4 pgs.
