About this Item

Printed broadside, 17 x 11 1/4 inches, employing several sizes and styles of type, including a large display type (two inches) in the head. A business solicitation to Civil War veterans and their widows, citing various U.S. laws concerning pensions, bounties, and other claims, and their requirements. Apparently not recorded on OCLC. Separated along central vertical fold (repaired on verso), several small chips (including one in the illustration); a good example of a fragile broadside. Printed on poor quality paper (now browned and brittle). (#5032).
