The Story Behind the Print
On March 4, 1872, six ambitious Boston businessmen launched what they hoped would become the city's definitive daily newspaper. The Boston Daily Globe's inaugural issue hit the streets with bold promises and a four-cent price tag, vowing comprehensive coverage of local affairs, national politics, and the rapidly changing world of the Gilded Age.
This historic front page captures a pivotal moment in American journalism — when newspapers were the primary lifeline connecting communities to the wider world. The Globe would go on to become one of New England's most influential voices, but here we see its humble beginnings: earnest typography, densely packed columns, and the optimistic energy of a new venture in a city hungry for news.
Reproduced on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using giclée printing and archival inks to preserve every detail of this vintage newspaper treasure.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.
About the Frame
Framed pieces are built to order in solid wood with clear acrylic glazing, dry-mounted artwork, a kraft paper dust cover, and hanging wire. Each piece arrives ready to hang. No mat. Satin Black has a 7/8-inch face and adds 1.25 inches to the total width and height. Slimwood Silver and Slimwood Gold have a 1 1/8-inch face and add 1.75 inches to the total width and height.
The selected size refers to the artwork itself. Framed orders are custom made and ship within 7 to 10 business days, free in the U.S. See our shipping and return policies for framed piece details.
