THE NORWICH GAZETTE, England, June 14, 1729   

* Rare 18th century publication
* Great masthead engraving


See the photos for the tremendous detail in the masthead of this early newspaper, showing the skyline of Norwich. Individual buildings and even the windows can be seen in this woodblock engraving. There are insets in the upper corners as well, one showing the patron Saint George slaying a dragon.
The content is entirely European. The back page features 6 advertisements which contain engravings.
Four pages, 8 1/4 by 10 1/4 inches, red tax stamp in a lower corner of the front page, very nice condition.
