[Rarebooks] FS: Large collection of illustrated Civil War newspaper NEW YORK HERALD, 1862

[Charles Agvent]

[Civil  War]. NEW YORK HERALD: Bound volume of 120  issues  from 1
January  1862  to 30 April 1862 with much war reportage.  Large  folio
(16"  x  21-1/2") bound in half sheep and marbled  boards.  Includes a
number  of triple sheets. Extensive reportage of the war with numerous
maps  throughout. In addition to the war news, the papers have ads and
other  news. Bound in at the front is a rather scarce broadside:  "The
New  Year's Address of the Newsmen of the New York Herald" illustrated
around  the  border  with  portraits of Lincoln  and  various  cabinet
members  and  generals. The broadside has a few small library  stamps;
otherwise,  it  and  the  newspapers are  generally  clean  with  only
occasional  browning  and a handful of long horizontal tears  with  no
loss.  While one occasionally sees individual Civil War issues of this
paper  offered  for sale, rarely does a run, even this  short  (though
more  than  2" thick), appear on the market. Spine  rubbed.  Overall a
Very Good and fascinating compilation.                        $2500.00
