Image001
(Note: additional images are located below the description)
Shown is an original & historic old newspaper, offered to enhance your collectible interest: THE LONDON MAGAZINE, England, November, 1776 

* American Revolutionary War era cartoon engraving
* News from America, or the Patriots in the dumps


Certianly the best part of this issue is the very rare full page political cartoon on the Revolutionary War. It is captioned: "News From America, or the Patriots in the Dumps." and shows Lord North standing on a platform holding a letter announcing successful campaigns by the British troops in America. A distraught woman 'America' holding a liberty cap, sits at the base of the platform. Others present react to the news. It is exceedingly rare to find political cartoons in period magazines of the Revolutionary War period as most were removed years ago. This plate has a small ink stain to the left side (see photo) but otherwise is in great condition, measuring 5 by 8 inches. Included with the plate is a related article concerning the war, with a cynical theme (see). There are several websites concerning this political cartoon, one of which can be seen here.

Near the back are nearly two pages headed: "American Affairs" with fine content on the war including the Battle of Long Island, mention of Washington evacuating New York, and the burning of New York, and much more. It includes 3 letters signed in type: W. Howe, and another from Crown Point signed: Guy Carleton. (see the photos)

The other full page plate called for is present showing a plan of "Delvin, formerly Inch-Stuthel" with a related article (see).

Complete in 56 pages, 5 1/4 by 8 1/4 inches, full title/contents page featuring a terrific engraving of the skyline of London, great condition.
