Beautiful masthead...



Item # 708656

March 22, 1800

TRUE AMERICAN COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER, Philadelphia, March 22, 1800  Perhaps the finest attribute of this newspaper is the beautiful masthead. It is uncommonly deep with engraving at the center mounted by a heraldic eagle.
Page 3 has an advertisement: "WASHINGTON - This Day is Published....An Elegiac Poem On The Death of General Washington" with a bit more. The front page features 10 illustrated ships in 9 ads, and a few slave-related ads.
Four pages, wide, never-trimmed margins, tiny binding holes at the blank spine, great condition & very displayable.

Item from our most recent catalog - #364, released for March, 2026
