EVERY SATURDAY - MAY 14, 1870 TOBOGGINING IN CANADA

$25.00

This item is the May 14, 1870 issue of EVERY SATURDAY a weekly newspaper that was published in Boston by James Osgood and Company. It was similar to the New York newspapers Harper's Weekly, and Frank Leslie, all of which were highly illustrated with wood engravings. Every Saturday is a rare newspaper, because it had a much smaller circulation. Earlier Boston newspapers, Gleason's Pictorial which later became Ballou's Pictorial were also similar in content, in that they provided historical news of current events, and art and literature. This issue is in good condition. The cover engraving has a crease which was made during printing, see picture. Other than this imperfection, the pages are very clean and bright for a publication of this age. Additional pictures are available upon request, please send your e-mail address.
