The stock market crash of 1987: in the Wall Street Journal...



Item # 699505

October 20, 1987

WALL STREET JOURNAL, New York, Oct. 20, 1987  The front page proclaims the famous report of the stock market crash of 1987, reading: "Stocks Plunge 508.32 Amid Panicky Selling" with a subhead: "Percentage Decline Is Far Steeper Than '29; Precious Metals Gain". Also a 3 line, 1 col. head: "A Repeat of '29? Depression in '87 Is Not Expected".
Included on the ftpg. are two graphs, one showing the Dow Jones average in 15 minute intervals and the other the huge volume by the half-hour. 
This crash ranks among the worst in American history, certainly alongside the famous crash of 1929 which began the Great Depression.
Certainly the best title to have for this notable stock market report.
Complete in 78 pages with both sections, foxing & minimal wear at the central fold, minimal wear at the spine, a few discrete archival mends on page 2.

Item from Catalog 354 (released for May, 2025)
