The Iconic Dewey Defeats Truman
Posted in Portfolio
This is arguably the most famous and sought after newspaper of all time. When the decision to print this paper was made, returns were coming in very slowly and time was running out before the deadline for the edition. The Tribune staff, based on the early returns, decided Dewey would be the next President. After the newspaper was delivered to the street, more returns came in and showed that Truman would be the ultimate winner and be reelected as President. The already delivered “error” newspapers were gathered for return by staff members sent out to pick them up from newsstands and homes in the Chicago area. It also has the paragraph of type in the upside down position as all original examples have since the newspaper workers in haste to get the edition to the newsstands made the error.
Original editions of this newspaper are becoming increasingly scarce. This is only the twenty fifth copy of this historic paper that we have owned in 40+ years and one of th e very best in terms of condition. . Here is a description of the condition. This is the complete three section paper. It one of several owned by a family in downstate rural Illinois who received this 40 page complete rural edition early in the morning and then had the foresight to return to the store and purchase several papers.
