We are fortunate to have discovered another complete and original copy of this famous edition of the Chicago Tribune of November 3, 1948. It is the original, authentic and complete newspaper with all three sections. . This is arguably the most famous and sought after newspaper of all time.

When the decision to print this paper was made, returns were coming in very slowly and time was running out before the deadline for the edition. The Tribune staff, based on the early returns, decided Dewey would be the next President. After the newspaper was delivered to the street, more returns came in and showed that Truman would be the ultimate winner and be reelected as President. The already delivered \"error\" newspapers were gathered for return by staff members sent out to pick them up from newsstands and homes in the Chicago area. It also has the paragraph of type in the upside down position as all original examples have since the newspaper workers in haste to get the edition to the newsstands made the error. Original editions of this newspaper are becoming increasingly scarce.

Here is a description of the condition. It is a COMPLETE PAPER. The paper is tin excellent condition. Overall the paper is clean and bright with only very very minor toning in a few spots. Truly one of the best condition papers we\'ve seen. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the most famous newspaper ever produced. It has been professionally matted and framed with archival quality glass and matting. It looks stately and dramatic in a very attractive frame with a commemorative plaque at the bottom. One of the nicest matting and framing we have ever seen with this newspaper. An excellent addition to your library, den or office that will surely get attention. Makes a great gift item for someone special. We\'ve also included a photo of the corner of the frame so you can see the quality. We will package securely and carefully and ship immediately. If you prefer it unframed we can provide it unframed (although it would be a shame since this is so nicely framed and matted)

Size: 27 1/2 wide x 34 1/2 high
