1791 DUNLAP'S AMERICAN DAILY ADVERTISER – COMPLETE ISSUE – John Dunlap, Printer of the Declaration of Independence – Washington Administration
A complete original issue of Dunlap's American Daily Advertiser, Philadelphia, September 8, 1791, printed by John Dunlap, whose place in American history was secured as the printer of the first broadside edition of the Declaration of Independence.
Published while Philadelphia served as the capital of the United States, this issue captures the commercial vitality of the young republic during the Washington administration. It contains extensive American and foreign news, shipping intelligence, government notices, auctions, financial reports, real estate offerings, and hundreds of contemporary advertisements documenting daily life in Federal-era America.
The beautifully illustrated front page features numerous original woodcuts of ships and merchant trade signs, while the remaining pages preserve an outstanding cross-section of eighteenth-century commerce, transportation, medicine, publishing, and trade.
A handsome, complete example from one of America's earliest daily newspapers and an increasingly scarce imprint of one of the nation's most important Revolutionary printers.
Condition: Very Good. Complete issue with strong impressions, original folds, light age toning, and only minor wear expected for a newspaper over 230 years old.
