The Dallas Morning News, August 15 1945, "Japan Surrenders Unconditionally" issue

The Dallas Morning News

A complete broadsheet newspaper, The Dallas Morning News dated Wednesday, August 15, 1945, described in the masthead as twenty-six pages in two sections. The front page carries the large banner headline 'Japan Surrenders Unconditionally; MacArthur to Rule Nippon Empire' alongside subsidiary headlines including 'Truman to Set V-J Day After Formal Signing,' 'Last Day of War,' and 'Cheerful and Thankful Dallas Looks to Bountiful Future.' The paper is printed on standard broadsheet newsprint that has browned and toned to a mid-amber colour throughout, consistent with aged acidic newsprint; the pages are intact but show creasing along fold lines and some general foxing and edge tanning.

Condition

Fair — paper is complete and legible but shows significant age-related browning, toning, and fold creasing throughout; no portions appear to be torn away or missing.
