Item # 702364

December 23, 1745

THE NEW YORK WEEKLY POST-BOY, Dec. 23, 1745 As those who follow our offerings know, it is rare that we have the opportunity to offer American newspapers from the 1740's. Here is a very handsome issue from 1745 featuring a nicely engraved, well-inked coat-of-arms engraving in the masthead.
The entire front page and over half of page 2 are taken with a report from the commander-in-chief of the province of New Jersey to his Assembly. Page 3 has much reporting under the dateline of "Annapolis, in Maryland", then other reports from Charleston and New York.
A very handsome issue, 8 1/2 by 12 1/4 inches, wide, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.
