Additional Details

A nice decorative broadside printing of the Amnesty Proclamation. While Burlington, VT has an intersection of Church and Cherry Streets, there is no record of a Daily Press at that location. Wheeling, WV did have a Daily Press Job Office which published between 1861 and 1863, but does not have an intersection of the aforementioned streets. The possibility of it being published in a border state like West Virginia, however, is intriguing.
