Black mourning rules around the issue...

Item # 693463 ·
THE DAILY UNION, Washington, D.C., Feb. 25, 1854  

* Black mourning borders

All four pages have wide, black "mourning" rules which were used when someone of significance has died. In this case it is General Robert Armstrong.
Page 3 has a report from the House of Representatives headed: "Death Of General Armstrong". The comments and reports on him take up most of the first column.
Also on page 3: "Tribute of Respect to the Late General Robert Armstrong".
Four pages, archival strengthening at the blank spine, nice condition.
