Huge map, plus Lincoln's state of the union address...
Item # 695317
December 04, 1861
NEW YORK TIMES, Dec. 4, 1861 A terrific display issue as over half of the front page is taken up with a huge Civil War map with a heading in perhaps the largest size type I have seen from this era: "THE NATIONAL LINES BEFORE WASHINGTON." with subhead: "A Map Exhibiting the Defences of the National Capital, and Positions of the Several Divisions of the Grand Union Army."
As if this was not sufficient, the front page also includes the: "President's Message" which carries over to page 2 where it is signed in type by the President: Abraham Lincoln. This was Lincoln's first state-of-the-union address.
Note: present are the first 2 leaves only: pages 1, 2, 3 & 4. The balance of the issue is lacking, however the map is obviously complete and the Lincoln state-of-the-union address is complete here as well.
