The Gentleman’s Magazine, London
November, 1787 & December, 1787 (two issues)

The “New Constitution of the United States of America” is printed in its entirety over two consecutive issues of this famous magazine. This was the first chance for the people of Great Britain (the “Mother Country”) to read the immortal words: “We the People, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity . . .” The document is signed in type, “John Hancock.”

Each issue is ninety-five pages, excellent condition throughout, and still has the scarce antique plates included. A rare opportunity to own a contemporary printing of the Constitution of the United States. American newspaper printings have sold for many hundreds of thousands of dollars when they have been auctioned. The Gentleman’s Magazine was the very first periodical in history to use the word “Magazine” in the title!

$7,500/set
