In honor of the recent first edition of the Brunswick News-Journal, here's a photo of the first page of its most distant predecessor: Vol. 1, No. 1 of The Brunswick Herald, dated March 6, 1891.<br />
<br />
Newspapers had a different approach back then: most of Page 1 is taken up by a section of a novel, plus a curiosity piece about desert animals, an excerpt from the memoirs of a famous French diplomat who knew Napoleon, some reprinted advice from the Boston Herald newspaper on politeness, and -- at the very bottom of column five -- a short biopic of the young Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination 23 years later would start World War I.<br />
