Patriotic masthead after a Revere engraving... Much on the Revolutionary War...
Item # 701404
May 14, 1778
THE INDEPENDENT CHRONICLE & THE UNIVERSAL ADVERTISER, Boston, May 14, 1778 A nice issue for display, as the masthead features an engraving taken from one done by Paul Revere for colonial currency at the time. It is a very patriotic device showing a soldier with a sword in one hand and a scroll with 'Independence' in the other, with the words "Appeal To Heaven" above him.
The entire front page is taken up with reports from the "House of Lords" with much of the discussion concerning the Revolutionary War. Page 3 has various war-related content, and the back page includes: "Arguments Against Taxing the Colonies, Communicated by Doctor Franklin to Governor Shirley in the year 1754". The back page continues with several war-related reports as seen in the photos.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, mild rubbing, some small archival mends at the margins, good condition.
