THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, March 17, 1757
* Original Ben Franklin colonial newspaper
* Famous title
A quite early colonial newspaper published by none other than the world famous Benjamin Franklin, although the "advertising leaf" which appeared with this issue, and upon which was the imprint of "B. Franklin", is not here as it was typically not bound with the issue since it carried only ads.
Over half of the front page has an article concerning relations with Indians. The balance of the front page has a report datelined from Charleston, South Carolina, with various news reports including problems with Indians.
Pages 2 & 3 have various reports from Europe, Boston, and Philadelphia, plus ads as well. The back page is entirely taken up with ads including a nice illus. ad for "John Elliot, Cabinet Maker".
Four pages and in great condition with a handsome engraving of a coat-of-arms in the masthead making this a displayable issue.
A photocopy of the page from the book "Benjamin Franklin's Philadelphia Printing" is included, verifying this issue was printed by Ben Franklin.
A great opportunity for a newspaper owned & printed by Ben Franklin without the much higher price commanded by issues with the imprint.
