Vol.VI.—No. 301. 16 pp. [625-640] 4 columns, numerous stories and cartoons. Cover page features striking full page image of “General McClellan Entering the Town of Frederick, Maryland—The Popular Welcome.” This issue contains much Antietam coverage with many striking visual vignettes, along with commentary on Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation which, in Harper’s Weekly’s view, despite its limiting language, effectively abolished slavery in the U.S. for keeps.

Condition VG , with mounting dot marks along left margin, plus slight yellowing and smudging round cover margins. Scattered spots of foxing throughout.  All pages have an approx. ½” tear extending inward from the right edge, about half way down each page.  Another longer tear is present on ppg. 629-630, approx. 1” above the smaller tear, and extends inward approx. 3”.

An attractive “Antietam” issue. Definitely a collectible. In protective sleeve, w/white card backing. [jp/ld] [ph:L]
