1799 Announcement of the Death of George Washington
December 21, 1799-Dated, Newspaper \"THE SPECTATOR,\" New York, NY, Very Good.
This very rare original Newspaper has 4 pages and is complete, measuring 21.25\" x 13\" with the appearance of Fine. It is missing a small piece out of the upper left corner, affecting the masthead. The entire second and third pages are printed with a black mourning border because of the sad news of Washington\'s death: \"On Saturday the 14th Instant, DIED SUDDENLY, At his seat in Virginia, Gen. George Washington...\" With additional articles from the Alexandria, VA newspaper announcing his death on the 15th & 16th: \"This mournful event occurred on Saturday evening, about 11 o\'clock. On the preceding night he was attacked with a violent inflammatory affection of the throat, which, in less than 24 hours, put a period to his life.\" In addition to this fine and rare early announcement, there is a small article on William Henry Harrison being appointed as a delegate from the \"Territory of the United States NW of the river Ohio\" to the House of Representatives and a nice \"Ranaway Slave\" ad.
