Item # 721132
July 31, 1851
THE DAILY CRESCENT, New Orleans, Louisiana, July 31, 1851 Newspapers from the Deep South are particularly difficult to find from before the Civil War, but here is a fine example of one.
A folio-size, four page newspaper featuring a masthead engraving of a Mississippi River scene, this issue has typical news of the day and a great wealth of ads, many of which are illustrated, including several illustrated steamboat ads.
The bottom of the front page has a small ad for: "James White...Will constantly PURCHASE NEGROES; also Board and Sell on Commission, any and all Slaves consigned to him." which includes 2 small prints of slaves. Also two other slave-related ads on the front page.
Complete in four pages, glued at the spine, good condition.
