Complete original 8pp Civil War newspaper, the New York Times, dated April 16, 1865. All 8 pages contain black-bordered columns in memory of assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. Prominent front page headlines begin with: OUR GREAT LOSS / Death of President Lincoln. This is a Sunday issue which was ordinarily not included in a bound volume of that year's issues. The Sunday, April 16, 1865 issue is much rarer that the Saturday April 15, 1865 issue and has a more detailed account of the assassination and its aftermath than the April 15 issue containing "breaking news." Condition: Few, scattered stains; typical folds; some holes along fold lines; some edgewear to newspaper.
