Please note that this is a reprint, not an original New York Times newspaper. You get front page only. So each page has front page from a different date, in 1862. So this is not a complete newspaper. It has 4 different front pages from 1862. That said it looks nice. I don't see any torn parts. Paper is old and dry and yellow. It is darker at the edges. It shows normal patina for a 100 year old newspaper. It is sold as pictured. You get only what is pictured. so please look at the pictures above. shipping is free within USA.
