NEW YORK HERALD, Feb. 23, 1862  An uncommonly graphic front page as the first column headlines are capped with an image of an eagle on the U.S. shield with flags, and the bottom of the heads features a print of the U.S. flag.
The first column heads concern the patriotic fervor in the city during the anniversary of Washington's birthday. 
Eight pages, very nice condition.

Background: The February 23, 1862, issue of the New York Herald stands as a remarkably vibrant piece of Civil War print journalism, visually anchored by rare front-page woodcut engravings—including an eagle on the U.S. shield with flags and a patriotic U.S. flag print capping its first column. This uncommonly graphic front page captures the fiery patriotic fervor gripping New York City during the nationwide celebration of Washington's birthday on February 22, an anniversary of profound ideological weight as both Northern and Southern factions sought to claim George Washington's legacy as their own during the war. Published by James Gordon Bennett Sr., whose extensive network of battlefield correspondents made the Herald the North's most widely circulated newspaper, this well-preserved eight pages edition reflects a crucial turning point in the conflict; coming directly on the heels of General Ulysses S. Grant’s decisive Union victory at Fort Donelson, the paper encapsulates a moment when patriotic pride, wartime propaganda, and breaking military intelligence converged to reshape American public morale.
