[PRE-FIRE CHICAGO]. The Illustrated Chicago News. Chicago: Farnum & Church, 22 May 1868. 16pp., folio (419 x 298 mm). (Light edgewear). Numerous wood-engraved illustrations including a full-page cartoon on Suffrage by Thomas Nast and a front-page illustration of the Republican National Convention. Provenance: William Raymond (ownership signature on front cover, probably a subscriber). AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE PRE-FIRE CHICAGO IMPRINT. The Illustrated Chicago News was published in a limited run of only 8 issues which lasted barely a year. We could only trace one auction record for this publication which was last seen in 1926.
