[Rarebooks] FS: Fine Collection of Civil War Newspapers with Numerous Maps, 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.
