Description

The listing, 167 year old news paper The New York Herald - dated April 16, 1848 - Free Shipping! has ended.

Step back in time more than a century and a half by reading this 1848 edition of The New York Herald. This is the entire newspaper not just clippings. It is 4 pages long on twi sheets of 6 columns of tiny print. This was the typical style of the 1850s.

Newspapers printed after 1799 and prior to 1860 are considered "Antebellum Papers" and were printed on naturally acid free "rag linen" paper so they held up much better than our newspapers of today. There are no illustrations but that is also typical of Antebellum papers since illustrations didn't become popular until several decades after this paper was printed.

This one is only slightly yellowed. It has been folded. It has been stored out of sunlight. There are no missing pieces and all editorial is present. The edges are not perfect but still in good condition for its age.

This is a large paper measuring 24" by 18".

There are also classified ads, advertisements with prices, and articles. They packed so many interesting items in this newspaper I couldn't possible mention them all.

Bidding starts at zero and shipping is FREE! It will be shipped securely with tracking and insurance. It has been folded in the past and it will be shipped that way without causing a change in condition. This is NOT a reprint or reproduction. This is an original newspaper, guaranteed.

Good luck bidding! And thanks for stopping by!
