Lot #2: ''Dewey Defeats Truman'' Newspaper -- The Most Famous Newspaper Mistake of All Time

Description

''Chicago Daily Tribune'' newspaper dated 3 November 1948 exclaiming ''DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN'', the most famous newspaper faux-pas of the 20th century. The Tribune so quickly rushed its printing that some of the type on the second page is even printed upside down. Most of the issues were taken off the stands when the Tribune realized its error, and only 2,000 were estimated to have reached private hands. Home edition is complete in three parts. Measures 16.75'' x 23.75''. Minimal toning and chipping along fold. In much better condition than usually found, overall very good plus.
