FRANK LESLIE'S ILLUSTRATED NEWSPAPER, New York, Dec. 5, 1863 The front page shows: "The War In Tennessee--Lookout Mountain & its Vicinity..." plus other war-related illustrations within, including scenes of Brownsville & Matamoras, Texas and more.
The great doublepage centerfold is captioned: "The Consecration of the Great National Cemetery Near Gettysburg, Nov. 19 by Abraham Lincoln...". As an appropriate complement to this centerfold is text on the events at: "The Gettysburg Celebration" within which is included the full text of the Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln, beginning: "Four score and seven years ago...".
The Gettysburg Address was never printed in the more common 'Harper's Weekly', and given that Leslie's is much more uncommon it is very difficult to find the Gettysburg Address in illustrated newspapers of the day.
Complete 16 page issue. What appears to be smudging in the Gettysburg text is actually a bit of bleed-through from the print on the next page. Nice condition and a very significant issue!
