Scarce Dewey Defeats Truman Original & Authentic Newspaper Professionally 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 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 is beautifully framed with archival quality , glass with True Vue Conservation Grade 99% UV protection glass. This original classic newspaper front page displays beautifully with the Dewey Defeats Truman headline bold and the iconic upside down type visible. 

Overall we would rate the newspaper fornt page condition as "good+". At the center horizontal fold line it has tiny typical surface pulls and one small spot in the center where the paper has slightly torn  (about 1/2" in width and the top and bottom pieces are attached an folded back. This is not immediately noticeable since the type from the page underneath blends in through the small hole. I The paper shows normal age toning. While it is not the entire newspaper, it does feature the all important iconic front page with the classic "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline.  

This  display will no doubt be a key conversation piece in your office, library or den or as a gift to someone special. It has been professionally  framed .  The frame is a heavy black quality frame, with a scuff mark at the bottom edge not noticeable from the front. Original, of course. 

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