In 1798 Johann Albrecht invented my favorite name for a Lancaster newspaper: Der Deutsche Porcupein (The German Porcupine). To accompany that name, he invented my favorite newspaper masthead : a woodcut angel proclaiming "Pressfreyheit!" (Freedom of the Press!), escorted by a prickly porcupine.
Johann's Porcupine newspaper name was inspired by the radical British journalist William Cobbett, whose was writing in Philadelphia with the pen name Peter Porcupine. (William Cobbett is also remembered for losing Thomas Paine's bones when he should have been burying them.)
Johann published his Porcupine newspaper from 1798 to 1799. Its complete name was Der Deutsche Porcupein und Lancster Anzeigs-Nachrichten (The German Porcupine and Lancaster Current News).
P.S. For me, this (topless) angel represents the Intelligencer newspaper's Mary Dickson, who eight years later, in 1806, would be demanding her own freedom of the press ...Here.
Previously, Johann had published "the first post bellum (post Revolutionary War) German paper in the interior of Pennsylvania" ...the Neue Unpartheyische Lancaster Zeitung und Anzeigs- Nachrichten (The New Non-Partisan Lancaster Gazette and Current News). ...beginning in 1787.
Johann used this Lancäster Zeitung newspaper to generate support for Lancaster's new Franklin College (today's Franklin and Marshall College) which was founded that same year as Johann's newspaper.
