Rare PAUL REVERE PRINT Revolutionary War 1781 Newspaper
 
Image041
 
Here is a complete, genuine historic old newspaper with the following title, date and description: THOMAS'S MASSACHUSETTS SPY OR THE WORCESTER GAZETTE, September 13, 1781 

* Rare Paul Revere engraving masthead
* Battle of Guilford Court House
* Revolutionary War original

This issue has significance for two reasons, the first is the nice & decorative masthead engraving which was done by none other than Paul Revere. Revere did masthead engravings for several American newspapers of the 18th century, this being one of them. Similar issues we have offered in the past have been from 1784 with a slightly different Revere engraving. This is the first from 1781 we have offered in some time.

Plus the content is terrific as well, as the entire front page and a portion of page 2 are taken up with Cornwallis' own account of the battle of Guilford Court House in North Carolina. This was a hollow victory for Cornwallis, for although he won the battle he suffered such severe losses that he had to abandon the campaign to establish British control over the Carolinas. It would not be long before he would venture north to Virginia and be entrapped by Washington & the French at Yorktown which essentially ended the Revolutionary War. See the photos for portions of the report which are quite detailed. The report is signed in type on page 2: Cornwallis (see).

Much of pages 2 & 3 are taken up with war-related content as well, but it pales in comparison to the historic front page content. But page 3 does have a report from New York which notes that: "...a French fleet or squadron...were arrived at Lyon-Haven bay in Virginia, from whence a 64 and two frigates were dispatched up York river and had taken a station off York town; every preparation was making by our noble General to defend the important posts he there possesses..." with more. And this is followed by an: "Extract of a Letter from Virginia, dated York-Town, August 31" which also reports of a French fleet of ships in the vicinity. These two latter reports give some premonition of what would be Cornwallis' fate before long.

More war-related content on the back page, including an item signed: Geo. Germaine. Plus several ads as well.

This issue is complete in four pages, measures 10 by 15 inches, has some irregularity at the margins with minor margin tears, was never bound nor trimmed (desirable), and has some small & discreet archival mends to the edges. There is non-archival tape at the blank spine, not touching any text and is still clear without any discoloration.

A handsome and very significant Revolutionary War newspaper for at least two reasons.
