Broadside; Great Britain; Child Abuse
A Copy of Verses On the Trial & Conviction of Mr & Mrs Sloane.
1851. London 1851: Printed for P.C. London 1851: Printed for P.C. One of the Most Appalling Examples of the Sadistic Abuse of a Minor Broadside. Great Britain. Child Abuse. A Copy of Verses on the Trial & Conviction of Mr. & Mrs. Sloane for the Cruel Treatment of their Servant Girl Jane Wilbred. London: Printed for P.C. 1851. 9" x 7" verse broadside untrimmed mounted on paper. Main text in two columns separated by rules below boldface headline. Light soiling and a few minor creases and tears. $950. This broadside records one of the most appalling examples of child abuse in English history. Public outrage at this case was shared at all levels of society. The gratuitous truly unspeakable cruelties that George Sloane special pleader of the Middle Temple and officer of the Church of England Assurance Institute and his wife an ex-dancer at the Italian Opera inflicted for two years on their servant girl who was hired from the work-house at age 15 did not go unpunished. But the Sloanes received only a two-year prison sentence. Their mild punishment outraged the public. This event must have inspired several broadsides and related items but almost none are recorded in the standard sources. COPAC lists 6 holdings of ours in Great Britain OCLC locates none in North America. unknown

Great Britain. Guy Fawkes Day. A New Guy Fawkes Speech. London: E. Billing 186 Bermondsey Street c.1840. 9-3/4" x 7-1/2" broadside. Six-stanza verse text within woodcut typographical border first four stanzas in two columns separated by woodcut rules below headline and vignette of a group of people burning Fawkes in effigy. Light toning otherwise fine. A well-preserved rare item. $650. A celebratory broadside commemorating Guy Fawkes Day. Also known as Guy Fawkes Night Bonfire Night or Firework Night it is an English national holiday commemorating the failed Gunpowder Plot an attempt by a group of Catholics to assassinate King James I by blowing up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament. The plot was foiled when Fawkes was discovered with a cache of explosives hidden beneath the House of Lords. The date of our broadside is conjectured from a similar broadside by Billing with a contemporary handwritten date of 1829 held by the National Library of Scotland. The verses on that copy end with "God save the King." Ours ends with "God save the Queen" so we assume it was printed in the early years of Queen Victoria's reign which began in 1837. OCLC locates no copies. unknown

Great Britain. Guy Fawkes Day. A New Guy Fawkes Speech. London: E. Billing 186 Bermondsey Street c.1840. 9-3/4" x 7-1/2" broadside. Six-stanza verse text within woodcut typographical border first four stanzas in two columns separated by woodcut rules below headline and vignette of a group of people burning Fawkes in effigy. Light toning otherwise fine. A well-preserved rare item. $650. A celebratory broadside commemorating Guy Fawkes Day. Also known as Guy Fawkes Night Bonfire Night or Firework Night it is an English national holiday commemorating the failed Gunpowder Plot an attempt by a group of Catholics to assassinate King James I by blowing up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament. The plot was foiled when Fawkes was discovered with a cache of explosives hidden beneath the House of Lords. The date of our broadside is conjectured from a similar broadside by Billing with a contemporary handwritten date of 1829 held by the National Library of Scotland. The verses on that copy end with "God save the King." Ours ends with "God save the Queen" so we assume it was printed in the early years of Queen Victoria's reign which began in 1837.
