1858ref. 822591858. London: Barnett Printer Highgate c.1858. London: Barnett Printer Highgate c.1858. An Interesting Piece of Printing History Broadside. Trial and Sentcnce sic of Dr Barnard This Day Guilty Transported for Life. London: Barnett Printer Highgate c.1858. 9-3/4" x 7-1/2" broadside mounted to later backing sheet. Moderate toning faint residue and small tears to corners from former mounting text affected at lower left and upper right corners loss to one word of text and to final letter of "and" in title "D" carefully filled in with ink. $1250. Riddled with printing errors and stock phrases this broadside provides an excellent example of the economical and often generic nature of this kind of popular literature. References to the "unfortuuate sic and illfated victim" the "cold and wanton murder" the "dissipated and irregular habits" which led to the crime and of course the "authenticity of the important information" this broadside contains would have all been familiar to contemporary readers but the text contains no real details of any particular crime. The printer may have sought to capitalize on the high-profile trial of French surgeon Simon Francois Bernard one of the conspirators in the 1858 Orsini plot to assassinate Napoleon III. This broadside also demonstrates the readiness with which printers of popular material imitated each other's work. The only other known broadside printed by Barnett has the conveniently generic caption title Full Particulars of this Dreadful Murder! and text seemingly identical to that of this broadside. At least two other broadsides we located published by London printers T. Rigdon and J. Lucksway have identical text under the Full Particulars title. This is a rare item.
