NEW YORK POST, May 14, 1948  The front page could not be better, with nearly half taken up with a very dramatic: "PROCLAIM JEWISH NATION ! " dropped out of a black box.
Also on the front page: "British Go--War, Say Arabs".
The coverage on pages 2, 3 is excellent with a banner headline: "Jewish Nation Is Proclaimed; State of War On, Arabs Say".
Page 3 is taken up with the full text of the: "Declaration of Independence" of the Jewish state. 
This report is a day earlier than most, as most newspapers of the day reported this notable event in their May 15 issue.
Complete in 80 pages, tabloid-size, some light dirtiness to the front page, archival strengthening at the blank spine. Interior pages are quite nice.
