1948 ''Dewey Defeats Truman'' NP
“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
Chicago Daily Tribune Home edition from 3 November 1948, declaring the ultimate blooper, ''Dewey Defeats Truman''. In the rush to get the paper printed, the typeface was even printed upside down on parts of the second page. Front page ''Bulletins on Elections'' detail numbers of votes for each candidate in precincts reported; other headlines in 26 page newspaper include ''Early Count Gives G.O.P. Senate Edge'' and ''Republican Ticket Ahead of 1944 Vote.'' Moderate toning to 16.75'' x 23'' paper and tear along center fold. Overall very good.
