Text is just chilling. "One Hundred Dollars Reward! Ranaway from the subscriber on the 13th inst., at Owen's Landing on the Mo. River (on my way to Texas) a negro man named NED, aged about 25 years, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, dark color with glossy skin, and his face inclined to be bumpy, will weigh about 140 lbs. He was finely dressesd, and is a genteel and proud negro…" Creasing and minimal tearing of the light stock poster only serve to add to its vintage appeal. A true piece of americana.
