Description: A significant issue of the newspaper that William Lloyd Garrison began January 1, 1831 as a voice for the abolition of slavery. This December 29, 1865 paper is the last issue published, having finally achieved its goals. To the right of the masthead is an extract of a letter by President Lincoln on Negro suffrage. The interior has a fascinating letter from Elizabeth Cady Stanton acknowledging that "this is the Negro's hour" but notes that "woman's right is ignored everywhere." 25" x 18", four pages. Condition: Minor chips & fold lines, generally very good. |
