A few bits referencing America...
THE GLOCESTER JOURNAL, England (now spelled Gloucester), Feb . 27, 1769
- Pre American Revolutionary War
- Nice masthead for display
Various British news reports throughout, with its finest feature being the handsome masthead with two detailed engravings and the ornate lettering. This is from the period when the troubling relationship between England and America was coming to a head. The Boston Massacre would be less than 2 years away.
Pages 1 and 3 have some brief references to America.
Four pages, red tax stamp on the front page, very nice condition.
