About This Item
Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio: J. S. Wright, 1857. Very good. Receipt printed on blue paper, measuring about 7 3/4" x 3 5/8". Numerous old flattened folds, and some isolated toning, but clean and legible, generally very good. An informative piece of ephemera from this Chardon, OH publisher and printer. On the left of the receipt is an advertisement for job printing, executed in eleven (our count) different type faces. The receipt was issued to one William T. Rexford, for a year's subscription to "The Jeffersonian Democrat" (whole numbers 339-391, volumes 7-8), for the sum of $1.50. The newspaper was founded in 1849 as the "Free Democrat," and its name changed perhaps a dozen times over the following decades. Despite its name, it was actually a Temperance-oriented Republican newspaper. Its direct descendant is still published today, as the Geauga Times Leader. The American Antiquarian Society holds a number of issues from 1859 onward, but just three (two damaged) from before that year. This a nice, scarce early piece of printing ephemera from rural Ohio before the Civil War.
