For an accurate replication of a historical newspaper, consider using the following elements:
The date
Volume
Issue number
Standard classical newspaper header
Colored/ textured backgrounds (rustic, beige-yellow, kraft brown, off-white, black and white)
Vintage/ black and white images
Standard classical typography (Bold and Large fonts, especially for emphasizing headlines)
These elements will help add authenticity to your newspaper’s appearance, especially when combined with old-style fonts and other thematic elements specified for each template.
