The incredibly yellow Annual Circular for the free "Rural Empire Club" in 1860.
They were founded in 1854 to invite people of all socioeconomic classes.
It's a deep lemon color, very large, and in amazing condition for a non-bound paper object from the time-- especially considering how it's been folded over the years. These often break on the folds.
I doubt many survived, even with 15,000 members.
I don't intend to fold it back up. Now to figure out where to display the incredibly large thing....
Very interesting circular!
