''Chicago Daily Tribune'' newspaper dated 3 November 1948 featuring 1.5'' banner headline ''DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN'', the most famous newspaper faux-pas of the 20th century. This complete three-section newspaper is rare as most of the issues were taken off the stands when the Tribune Co. realized its error. Only 2,000 were estimated to have reached private hands and many have disappeared since 1948. Runs 40pp. Very light toning. Tears along right edge and middle fold, else near fine. A rare and very desirable historical issue in very good condition.
