Slave ads & notices in this antebellum Louisiana newspaper...

Item # 701061

September 21, 1850

THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, Sept. 21, 1850 Newspapers from the pre-Civil War South are rather difficult to find. Here is one from Louisiana.
The front page has an illustrated ad: "$20 Reward" for a runaway mulatto boy. Also of interest is a front page ad headed: "Slaves! Slaves!! Slaves!!!" which notes in part: "The subscribers are prepared to receive, on consignment, for sale in this market, any number of slaves, having one of the best showrooms in the city, & large & comfortable quarters where every attention will be paid to their comfort. Merchants, planters, and families having slaves to dispose of will find it to their interest to place them in our charge..." with a bit more.
Inside are 2 more reward ads for runaways.
Four pages, archivally rejoined at the spine, a few older tape mends at the bottom margins, good condition.
