Rare & Classic Dewey Defeats Truman Original & Authentic Complete Newspaper

We are fortunate to have discovered another original and complete copy of this famous edition of the Chicago Tribune of November 3, 1948. It is the original, 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, like this one, are becoming increasingly scarce.

Here is a description of the condition: This is an original newspaper,.  There are three sections, and as originally issued, the 2nd & 3rd sections are combined also as issued.  In overall very good condition, with very light consistent toning, unlike many of these pages that has some blotching toning. The edges of the paper show typical wear and some small tears in the margin at the lower left corner not affecting the type. The center horizontal fold shows characteristic paper seperation at the center. 

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.
