The treaty which formally ended the Revolutionary War...
Item # 687283
December 10, 1783
THE NORWICH PACKET of the CHRONICLE OF FREEDOM, Connecticut, Dec. 10, 1783 This must rank among the more beautiful mastheads of the 18th century with the handsome engraving of the ship.
Taking almost all of page 3 is perhaps the most significant document of the Revolutionary War era, being the complete text of the Treaty of Paris ending the war, formally headed at the top of the first column: "The Definitive Treaty between Great Britain & the United States of America, signed at Paris, the 3d Day of September, 1783".
This document formally ended the Revolutionary War & is inclusive of all ten Articles with the signatures in type of John Adams, B. Franklin, David Hartley and John Jay.
Further on page 3 is a note: "To make room for the Articles of the Definitive Treaty, which did not cone to hand till this day, we are obliged to omit sundry advertisements, etc."
Although we have offered this document in several British magazines and newspapers, I cannot find this offering by us in an American newspaper within the last 20 years.
Four pages, some professional restoration work (affects 3 words in the Treaty) with some strengthening at the margins, spotted foxing, generally in very nice condition
