"The Morning News celebrates 140 years. Count this as another victory for print. If you haven’t yet seen it, the physical version of the paper today does something that can’t be replicated online. To celebrate their anniversary, the folks at the News published a wraparound front page with a huge, beautiful illustration created by Michael Hogue. On the inside, they printed a replica of their very first all-text front page, from 1885. A story with a dateline from Baird, Texas, caught my eye: “AN ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE. Bold Assault of a Tramp on a Hotel Chambermaid at Baird—He is Followed Westward, Captured and Jailed. Quite an excitement was created here last night by the entrance of a tramp, who gave his name as Af. Wilson, into the apartments of one of the chambermaids at the Commercial Hotel and attempting to outrage her. The tramp came here Wednesday and was employed as dishwasher at the hotel. He entered the room in bare feet, carrying a large butcher knife in his hand. He approached the bed of the maid and arousing her, said: ‘If you make any noise I will kill you.'” There’s more. If you’re a design and/or journalism geek, this is one worth getting your hands on."
