Diana Princess Of Wales Appraisal

Pioneer Press Newspaper - Farewell, Diana (September 7, 1997)

This is a copy of the Pioneer Press newspaper from Sunday, September 7, 1997. The front page features a large banner headline reading "Farewell, Diana," referring to the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. Prominent images on the front page include photographs related to Diana's funeral, including a picture of Princes William and Harry with their father, Prince Charles, and an image of Diana's coffin draped with a flag and adorned with a floral arrangement, being carried by pallbearers. The headline is printed in large, bold, black font against a white background, set beneath the newspaper's masthead, which includes the name "Pioneer Press" and the day of the week, "SUNDAY." Other articles on the front page are visible, including one titled "Mother Teresa's funeral delayed" and another about the mayoral primary election under the heading "Mayoral primary is candidates' first test." The paper appears to be in overall fair condition, with some visible creases, folds, and likely yellowing due to age, typical of vintage newspapers. The edges may show some wear or minor tears, though the overall integrity of the page seems intact based on the image. No explicit maker's marks other than the newspaper's name and publication date are visible on the front page. The item represents a historical artifact from a significant global event.
