The very first issue of The New York Times, published on September 18, 1851, marked the beginning of what would become America's newspaper of record. Founded by Henry Jarvis Raymond and George Jones, this inaugural edition cost just one cent and boldly proclaimed its mission to give news "impartially." At a time when most newspapers were overtly partisan, Raymond's vision was revolutionary — objective journalism in an era of yellow journalism and political bias.
This historic front page captures the modest beginnings of what would grow into one of the world's most influential publications. The typography and layout reflect the newspaper design of the 1850s, with dense columns of text and classified advertisements that offer a fascinating glimpse into mid-19th century New York life. It's a piece of media history that witnessed the birth of modern journalism.
