Original 19th-century newspaper — not a reproduction.
CONDITION:
Poor/fair antique condition with substantial age-related wear. Paper has heavy edge chipping, tears, fold wear, creasing, brittle areas, losses along the margins and a larger tear/damaged area through the lower portion of the paper. Some detached or fragile edge sections may be present.
Despite the condition, much of the printing remains readable and the large illustrated portrait displays well.
Please review all photos carefully for exact condition, completeness and damage. This is a very old and fragile newspaper and will be packed carefully for shipment.
Interesting piece for collectors of 19th-century newspapers, Catholic history, religious ephemera, Irish-American history, Archbishop John J. Lynch memorabilia, or early American publishing.
Ships carefully protected to help prevent further damage.
