THE LONDON GAZETTE, England, Oct. 5, 1691
* Among the earliest of English language newspapers to be had
* Hold something from the 17th century in your hands
* Unique gift for that history buff
This is the world's oldest continually published English language newspaper, having begun in 1665 and is still printing in London to this day. And this is a very early, genuine issue. As was the case with most newspapers of the 17th century, this is complete as a single sheet, measuring 6 1/2 by 10 3/4 inches and printed on very high quality paper with much cotton & linen fiber content.
The issue is filled with various news of the day from various cities in Europe, each report with its own dateline, and even includes some "Advertisements" on the back page. Given its small size this would be a nice newspaper for framing & display with the 334 year old date prominent at the top. Tiny piece torn away at the upper right corner, Some tiny binding holes along the left, blank margin, generally in very nice condition.
