This is an older facsimile of the Ulster County Gazette Vol. II Num. 88, dated Saturday January 4, 1800. It does have the older s often used in old newsprint. (some later reprints did not) The letter f was substituted for an s. Example The long s ⟨ſ⟩, also known as the medial s or initial s, is an archaic form of the lowercase letter ⟨s⟩. It replaced the single s, or one or both of the letters s in a 'double s' sequence (e.g., "ſinfulneſs" for "sinfulness". Most likely this is from the early 1900’s. No paper has been ever been reprinted as many times at this one. This is a double sided framed reprint of the Ulster County Gazette published at Kingston, Ulster County, New York by Samuel Freer and Son, Vol. II Num. 88, dated Saturday January 4, 1800. The double glass allows you to see both side of the paper. It is generally quite obvious why an old newspaper was saved, and it was usually because the paper documented a major historical event. This paper happens to be the first newspaper of the 19th century printed by The Ulster County Gazette.
