THE POST BOY, London, Jan. 4, 1717  A very early and handsome newspaper featuring two decorative engravings in the masthead, plus a very large e& ornate first letter in the text.
As would be expected content is almost entirely from Europe. The top of page 2 has a report from England noting the arrival of various ships, and that: "...all three from New England...".
Mention of the American colonies from such an early date are somewhat uncommon.
Complete as a single sheet issue, 8 1/4 by 14 1/4 inches, great condition.
