With the desired Ben Franklin imprint...



Item # 703537

July 19, 1753

THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE, Philadelphia, July 19, 1753 In the imprint at the bottom of the back page is the much desired Benjamin Franklin imprint, noted as: "Printed By B. FRANKLIN, Post-Master, and D. HALL at the New Printing Office, near the Market". Franklin would later dissolve his involvement with this newspaper he made famous, and his name no longer appeared in the imprint after 1765.
This issue is from before the French & Indian War and all the oppressive Acts of Parliament of the 1760's and 1770's that would create an irreparable divide between the colonies and England.
Various content from America and Europe, with page 2 generally containing American items. There is a wealth of advertisements, one illustrated, which speak to the success of Franklin as a newspaper publisher.
Four pages, very nice condition.

Item from Catalog 353 (released for April, 2025)
