Classic & Scarce Dewey Defeats Truman Original & Authentic Newspaper Framed

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 front page and section of this classic newspaper in very good condition.

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 and prices have been increasing. The paper has a wooden light pine color frame. This original classic newspaper front page displays nicely with the Dewey Defeats Truman headline bold and the iconic upside down type clearly visible. 

Overall we would rate the newspaper front page condition as "good+". It has typical small minor surface pulls  along the center horizontal fold line and and  a a half inch tear  at the left center edge that are not immediately noticable.  The paper shows normal age toning.  It includes  the classic front page with the bold Dewey Defeats Truman headline, and while we have not dismantled the frame it appears to have several of the pages of the front section or perhaps even the entire front section of the newspaper. 

This  display will no doubt be a key conversation piece in your office, library or den or as a gift to someone special. 

And of course, comes with our 100% guarantee of authenticity.
