Item #687418
September 06, 1775
THE PENNSYLVANIA JOURNAL; AND THE WEEKLY ADVERTISER, Philadelphia, September 6, 1775 If there was one graphic that represented the spirit of the Revolutionary War it would have to be the ubiquitous segmented snake with the famous "Unite Or Die" caption.

The Gettysburg Address on front page...
Item #698639
November 20, 1863
NEW YORK TRIBUNE, Nov. 20, 1863 It would be difficult to argue for a more notable or desirable newspaper from the Civil War.

Russell, the publisher, devised a cartoon showing each state as a ... See More

Item #698511
February 07, 1935
THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, Boston, Feb. 7, 1935 Page 6 contains a rather mundane, one-column article headed: "Brown Seems to Have Been Taken Into 'Ivy League' " but it is significant for being the very first use of the term "Ivy League" to appear anywhere.
