March 01, 1777
THE LONDON GAZETTE, from London, England, dated March 1, 1777  This is the oldest continually published newspaper in the world, having begun in 1665 and is still publishing today. This issue is over 230 years old.
Published three times a week, and each number, which cost two pence (halfpenny), contains eight pages. Included is domestic and foreign news, essays both original and reprinted (often serialized), occasional poetry, letters to the editor, and, mostly at the back, public notices and advertisements for books, patent medicines, auctions, and other goods and services.
This includes both a full red ink tax stamp and also another red ink tax stamp which also includes the plate number.  This is the complete issue, however the back page is blank, and it has scattered foxing, otherwise in good condition. See photos for details.
