Description
[Abraham Lincoln]. The Emancipation Proclamation in The New South. 4 pages, 9.75" x 13", Port Royal, South Carolina; January 17, 1863. Vol 1, No. 21. Located on page four in one column. A fine example of a rare, first printing of the Emancipation Proclamation in the South. Housed in custom portfolio and slipcase backed in morocco with gilt-lettered spine. The Union controlled Port Royal after the naval battle in November 1861 and it proved a formidable base of operations for their blockade of southern Atlantic seaports throughout the war. This is the only exemplar of the Emancipation Proclamation printed in the South that we have come across. It was likely this very printing that was read to slaves, fugitive slaves, and free Blacks in Port Royal, news of which quickly spread to the mainland and prompted more "contrabands" to flee to Union lines.Condition: 1.25" closed tear to each page along an old fold. Some separation along the center of the same fold. Toned with some edgewear. Light soiling, foxing, and wrinkling. Ownership sticker at upper margin of page 1. Pencil notations to page 1.
