The Pennsylvania Gazette – May 25, 1769 – Colonial America – Revolutionary Era – Original Newspaper
An original issue of The Pennsylvania Gazette, Philadelphia, dated May 25, 1769 (No. 2109). One of colonial America's most celebrated newspapers, originally established by Benjamin Franklin, this issue was printed during the growing constitutional crisis between Great Britain and the American colonies.
The front page features extensive political correspondence from Boston discussing colonial opposition to Parliamentary authority and the Townshend Acts, capturing the mounting tensions that would soon lead to the American Revolution. The remaining pages contain foreign intelligence, domestic news, shipping reports, and period advertisements offering a vivid snapshot of life in British America.
Printed on laid paper in the traditional four-page folio format, this is a handsome survivor from the decade preceding American independence.
Condition: Very Good. Strong impressions, complete, light age toning, with only minor edge wear consistent with age.
