Wonderful broadside on the surrender of Robert E. Lee...

JAMESTOWN JOURNAL, EXTRA, Jamestown, New York, April 7, (1865) Within the world of newspaper collecting, both major reports and graphic headlines are primary in determining collectability. Other factors are important as well, but the more notable the event and the "flashier" the graphic appeal, the more desirable the item.
Broadsides tend to dominate such items. They were printed very quickly, and often in several editions as news was received (many noting the time). They tend to be small, very brief in text, typically single column, and printed on one side only.
This broadside is the best we have seen announcing the surrender of Robert E. Lee. The photos tell the whole story. This is single sheet, printed on one side only, measures 7 by 16 3/4 inches, and is in very nice condition. This is a wonderful and dramatic item for display.
