COLUMBIAN CHRONICLE, Philadelphia, January 22, 1813 Woodcuts of heraldic eagles in mastheads are somewhat common and are always an attractive feature of such newspapers. But this title offers an engraving far beyond the ordinary. The wingspread on this eagle measures 6 3/4 inches, the largest eagle we have seen in an early newspaper.
As such this title is collectable for the masthead engraving alone, however it has War of 1812 content as well.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, very nice condition.
