Description: Sojourner Truth Squirrels Harper's Gilded Age newspaper 1882 complete issue Harper's Weekly: A Journal of Civilization. (Old Periodicals, 19th Century Newspapers, Americana, Harper's Weekly, Gilded Age, Illustrated Newspapers, Sojourner Truth, Legislative Train, Feeding Squirrels). Issued March 11th, 1882, New York, by Harper & Brothers. An actual piece of American history issued during the Gilded Age. Filled with commentary and wood engraved images, issued contemporary to the events. Original late-19th century weekly newspaper.  An actual, complete newspaper published at the date listed, not a modern re-issue. During this period, this journal was a major, influential national publication which employed many of the top artists of the era. Paper uniformly age toned as typical, some pages loose. Issue was once bound up in a volume and is now free-standing and complete unto itself as originally issued. Nice looking, clean, well preserved example, pages loosened, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. Text on reverse of each page as always, images and maps from Harper's like this are often offered separately for display.  Newspaper measures c. 16" H x 11" W. Periodical will be shipped gently rolled in a sturdy 3" wide tube to ensure it arrives safely to you! Multiple issues purchased at the same time will be shipped flat. [B8023]. Perhaps the most interesting item in this issue is just a small, inconspicuous item on page 3 under the "Personal" column reading: "Sojourner Truth writers to us from Battle Creek, Michigan, in reference to recent published paragraphs of her having a fine home, and her having made a will, etc. She says she has made no will, owns no farm, but has a small house encumbered by a mortgage, and has no income but what she derives from the narrative of her life and sale of her photograph, which she hopes, and we hope, her friends will buy to help her along in this one-hundred-and-seventh year of her stay on earth."  She would pass away the following year. Among the many prints in this issue are: "The Legislative Train, from Albany to New York" showing people in a plush train car; a full page containing 8 prints on: "Duck Shooting Near the Capes of Delaware"; a full page: "Feeding the Squirrels in Union Square"; a small print of; "The New Fatigue Uniform--Infantry"; three-quarters of a page with 3 prints on "The Great Floods" on the lower Mississippi, as well as "Water Street, Cincinnati" and "Belleview and Isabella Streets, Newport, Kentucky". Also a one-third page print: "Mole, Ferry Slip, and Depot, Oakland, California" and a one-third page of: "The New Fulton Market, New York City".
