A rare front page printing of the Louisiana Purchase Treaty in the November 5, 1803, issue of the Providence Phoenix, 11.5 x 18, four sides on two adjoined pages. Titled “Louisiana Treaty,” this front page printing of the treaty celebrates the news of its ratification in the Senate on October 20, 1803, by a vote of 24 to 7: "We congratulate our fellow-citizens on the prompt approbation given by the Senate to this important Act. The treaty, as advised to be ratified by the Senate, and which we have no doubt will in a short time receive the final ratification of the President of the United States." The printed names of Robert Livingston and James Monroe are at the end of the printed treaty. The full printing of the treaty, unusually placed on the front page that was normally reserved for advertisements, was printed only two months before the final transfer of sovereignty over the vast new territory. Central horizontal fold, scattered edge tears and chips, uniform toning, and some scattered foxing, otherwise very good condition.
