Oldest Jewish weekly on the Atlantic coast...



Item # 695034

October 02, 1891

THE JEWISH MESSENGER, New York, Oct. 2, 1891  This title began in 1857 and a note on page 4 mentions: "The Jewish Messenger, now in its 35th year, is the oldest, best known, and most widely circulated weekly devoted to Jewish interests, published on the Atlantic Coast".
As the title would suggest, the content is almost entirely focused on Jewish events and news. 
Ten pages, great condition printed on high-quality newsprint rather than the more typical purplish paper of the era. Never found nor trimmed.

Item from Catalog 340 (released for March, 2024)
