Dewey Defeats Truman Original & Authentic Framed Newspaper

We are fortunate to have discovered yet another original of this famous edition of the Chicago Tribune of November 3, 1948. It is the original and authentic newspaper. This is arguably the most famous and sought after newspaper of all time. When the decision to print this paper was made, returns were coming in very slowly and time was running out before the deadline for the edition. The Tribune staff, based on the early returns, decided Dewey would be the next President. After the newspaper was delivered to the street, more returns came in and showed that Truman would be the ultimate winner and be reelected as President. The already delivered "error" newspapers were gathered for return by staff members sent out to pick them up from newsstands and homes in the Chicago area. It also has the paragraph of type in the upside down position as all original examples have since the newspaper workers in haste to get the edition to the newsstands made the error. Original editions of this newspaper are becoming increasingly scarce. Here is a description of the condition. The paper is professionally matted and framed . The newsprint is evenly toned throughout. The Dewey Defeats Truman headline is bold and clean. This is a complete first section of the newspaper. The iconic upside down type in the right column is clear and visible. There is a vertical tear extending from the top of the paper to the "un" in Tribune at the top right. There are the typical small pull tears at the center of the horizontal fold and a small tear at the left edge of the paper next to the "Probable Winners" article. There are six small plastic clips holding the newspaper in place (top and bottom) so the newspaper has not been damaged or permanently attached when framed. Overall we would rate the condition of this newspaper as very good. If you are looking for an example of this rare newspaper to display in an office, library or den, then this is a nice opportunity to acquire this rare and professionally framed newspaper at a very reasonable price.
