    Updated: 2024-05-13 09:05:10
    Sometimes it’s nice just to be handsome to be collectible. The New Gazette van Brugge from 1815 Belgium is not particularly early for a European title, nor am I aware of any historic content.

While sounding a tad ridiculous, a newspaper article from a reliable 19th century publication confirms this claim.
