A less perfect Union-Tribune

In the anything for a buck age, the San Diego Union-Tribune turned back time - and dropped the "Union" from its name - as part of a promotional wraparound advertisement for Wells Fargo Bank. Clever.

Turns out, they turned the clock back a little too far. From San Diego Citybeat:
The ad is made to looks like an old-timey edition from April 30, 1852, suggesting what the newspaper might’ve looked like before the San Diego Tribune merged with the San Diego Union. ...

How’s this for an anachronism: The San Diego Tribune wasn’t founded until 1895.
Is accuracy an anachronism, too?
