Pic 3 BROOKLYN HEIGHTS!!! Etching signed MINTON---The front page article is all about BROOKLYN! Amazing look at the city in 1854.
Pic 4 --ETCHINGS and BIO NOTES on FAMED ENTERTAINER GEORGE CHRISTY! FAMED MINSTREL PERFORMER IN BLACKFACE--WELL KNOWN WORLDWIDE (Made his debut as "Julius ,the bone player "n 1839) as I was doing an article for a musical magazine at the time, this rare biography was just what I needed.
The paper is dedicated to entertaiment and the arts, poetry, stories and DRAWINGS of all kinds, from exotic places too-- in this issue a big etching of a SWISS WRESTLING MATCH, many from Papetee,- etc.-a wealth of wonder and knowledge for just 3.00 a year.
This is the real deal--not a reproduction.

Enlarge 2 times and you can read the articles. I kept this in acid free wrap, and took real good care of it.
you have done a great job on keeping these in great shape and condition !!!
Thanks! I love vintage paper colectibles. OH! Those graphics.
I like it that there was a paper dealing with the entertainment field at this time. It was a pleasure looking at it and I hope to find another some day. It was a high quality newspaper.
You will enjoy reading this paper.
