The listing, 156 year old news paper The Boston Semi-Weekly Courier dated March 7, 1859 - Free Shipping! has ended.

Step back in time more than a century and a half by reading this 1859 edition of The Boston Semi-Weekly Courier. This is the entire newspaper not just clippings. It is 4 pages long on two sheets of 8 columns of tiny print. This was the typical style of that era.

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 is one illustrations but that is also typical of this era of Antebellum papers since illustrations didn't become popular until several decades after this paper was printed.

This one is 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 near perfect on this piece! That's nearly unheard of given it's age.

There are classified ads, advertisements with prices, and many fascinating articles.

This is the largest size newspaper ever printed in the US. It measures a whopping 31" by 21" (perfect for a poster frame so it won't be expensive to mount and display).

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!

By request, I've set this one to end in 10 days instead of the usual 21 days.
