THE LIBERATOR, Boston, Massachusetts, December 18, 1863
* Abraham Lincoln and the Proclamation of Amnesty
This is the famous anti-slavery newspaper by famed abolitionist publisher William Lloyd Garrison. The masthead features two engravings, one of a slave auction and the other showing slaves being emancipated (see photos).
Beginning at the bottom of the front page and continuing to the top of the second page is an article: "President Lincoln's Message" which has this prefacing comment: "We print, below, all that portion of the Message referring to the war, slavery, and kindred matters." Further on is the complete text of the: "Proclamation Of Amnesty" which is signed in type by the President: Abraham Lincoln (see photos).
Great to have this content in an anti-slavery newspaper.
Complete in four pages, folio size, with some archival mends and a few scattered foxing, otherwise in nice condition. See photos for details.
