Handsome masthead, from shortly before the Revolutionary War...



Item # 700179

March 06, 1769

THE GLOCESTER JOURNAL, England (now spelled Gloucester), March 6, 1769  

* Pre Revolutionary War
* Nice masthead for display


Various British news reports throughout, with its finest feature being the handsome masthead with two detailed engravings and the ornate lettering. This is from the period when the troubling relationship between England and America was coming to a head. The Boston Massacre would be less than a year away.
Four pages, full red tax stamp on the front page, very nice condition.
