THE SPECTATOR, New York, January 1, 1800 A wonderful issue on the funeral of George Washington, as over 1 1/2 columns on the event, and features an engraving of Washington's coffin with the pallbearers noted at its side.
Engravings of Washington's coffin are found in several titles, but more typically they are on inside pages. Great for displayability to have this engraving on the front page.
Good content inside as well with more on various funeral proceedings, plus pronouncements of honors to the life & service of Washington, etc. Included are: "Regulations, Relative to the Procession for Rendering Funeral Honors to the Deceased Gen. WASHINGTON as agreed by the Committee of Arrangements" which takes most of a column. Also: "By the President of the United States of America - A PROCLAMATION" concerning proclaiming a mourning period, and how it is to be honored.
Four pages, archival strengthening at the spine where some bits are missing, various wear at the margins with various small margin tears, various archival repairs at margin tears inside, some dirtiness near the edges of the front page.
