Rare Dewey Defeats Truman Original & Authentic Complete Newspaper

We are fortunate to have discovered another complete and original copy of this famous edition of the Chicago Tribune of November 3, 1948. It is the original, authentic and complete newspaper with all three sections.  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. This is a complete 54 page newspaper, in three sections, in overall very good condition. The paper is clean and crisp with pical light toning. There are very minor edge tears in the margins/edges that do not effect the type or printed areas. One small area at the center right edge has been previously repaired. There is an area on the left side of the front page that has what appears to be some type of blueish ink or paint marks. The newspaper has been stored unfolded so the typical separation/tearing that you typically see at the center horizontal fold is barely seen. 

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the most famous newspaper ever produced. An excellent addition to your library, den or office that will surely get attention. Makes a great gift item for someone special. We will package securely and carefully and ship immediately. Comes with our 100% guarantee of authenticity and a Certificate of Authenticity. Would look great framed.
