NEW YORK HERALD, Nov. 16, 1858 The last column on the front page has: "The Great Chess Tournament In Europe", with more than 2 1/2 columns regarding Paul Morphy's travel to Europe in 1858 to play Harry Staunton (a match which never took place), and an account of their correspondence related to what is now referred to as the Staunton-Morphy controversy.
A great issue for those who collect historic chess memorabilia.
