Three Washington script signatures on the front page...
Item # 703589
April 09, 1796
COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, April 9, 1796
* President George Washington - John Adams
Over half of the front page is taken up with three documents of the federal government with each signed in script type by the President: Go. Washington, and two of them in block type by John Adams.
This was one of just a couple of newspapers which used the script type for presidential signatures, making such issues very displayable when on the front page.
The back page has a notice from the Treasury Dept. seeking bids for constructing a lighthouse on Cape Hatteras, and a beacon house on Shell Castle Island.
Four pages, some very light damp stains, nice condition.
