(Old Periodicals, 19th Century Newspapers, Americana, Harper's Weekly, Reconstruction, Illustrated Newspapers, New York, Central Park Zoo, Belmont Racing Track, Acadian Boats).

Issued October 13th, 1866, New York, by Harper & Brothers.

An actual piece of American history issued during Reconstruction. Filled with commentary and wood engraved images, issued contemporary to the events.

Original mid-19th century weekly newspaper.  An actual, complete newspaper published at the date listed, not a modern re-issue.

Nice looking, clean, well preserved example, pages loosened, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. Text on reverse of each page as always, images and maps from Harper's like this are often offered separately for display.
