Collection of four different issues of The London Gazette dating from 1671, 1771, 1871, and 1971. The London Gazette continues circulation to this day and has done since its founding in 1665 under the name The Oxford Gazette. It is, however, not a newspaper in the colloquial sense used in the contemporary era. Rather, it is one of the official journals of record for the British government, primarily publishing state and parliamentary notices, legal notices, notices of corporate and personal insolvency, military and civilian awards, as well as honors lists. It also publishes dispatches from conflict zones in times of war. Measures approximately 14" x 10" tall.
