The Evening Chronicle - Monday November 2nd 1885.
This is a very important issue of the Evening Chronicle, as it is the VERY FIRST edition of the paper ever published. As can be seen, in those days the front page was all adverts (and quite small ones too, difficult to read) so there is no news on it to show what was happening in the world (or in our region) on that day.
To put this newspaper into context though, 1885 was the year that General Gordon was killed in Khartoum.
Now, I wish I owned a copy of this actual newspaper, but sadly I do not. The front page shown here is just a facsimile that I have, but interesting to see nonetheless . . .
