All items that are offered by The Chronicles are from a large collection that we acquired
from an avid collector & dealer of Scarce Paper Americana in the late 1900s.
They include newspapers, documents, books, maps and images,
with a focus on the civil war era and before. All items are genuine originals.
We do not handle copies or reproductions of any items
Unlike modern paper items, early newspapers & documents made before 1880
generally remain in very nice condition even after centuries of aging
The reason for this is that these early paper items were made with pure cotton & linen,
whereas modern paper is made with wood fibers that often rapidly discolor and get weak & brittle
