Description

The iconic ‘Dewey Defeats Truman’ Daily Tribune

Two items: FDC featuring a clipped newspaper photo of Truman and Winston Churchill during his 1946 visit to Fulton, Missouri, signed in black ink by Truman. Several additional stamps and postmarks have been applied to the cover as well; and an original complete edition of the famously inaccurate November 3, 1948, Chicago Daily Tribune, calling the election for Dewey with the enormous headline “Dewey Defeats Truman.” FDC is in fine condition. Newspaper is very good, with uniform toning, small separations and chips along central horizontal fold, as well as two light vertical folds. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
