September 19, 1793
INDEPENDENT CHRONICLE & THE UNIVERSAL ADVERTISER, Boston, Sept. 19, 1793
* Nice masthead engraving
* 18th century America
* John Hancock
As the photo shows, this is one of the more handsome & displayable mastheads of the 18th century.
Nearly half of page 3 is taken up with a very lengthy: "SPEECH" to the Mass. legislature by the governor, signed by him in type: John Hancock.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed with wide margins, a printing/paper flaw at the right margin of the front leaf affects words but not the mentioned content, otherwise nice condition.
