1879réf. 373732Kenealy London 1879. Newspaper. Good Condition. A rare and incendiary sequence of five consecutive issues of The Englishman published in November 1879 and edited by Edward V.H. Kenealy the disgraced barrister turned editorial crusader. These papers are not passive reportage; they are the printed artillery of a man who refused to let the Tichborne verdict stand. Kenealy having been ejected from the courtroom and Parliament alike took to the press with messianic fervour. The Englishman became his pulpit his battlefield and his confessional. Across these five issues he wages war on the establishment lionizes the Claimant and re-litigates the trial in serialized fury. The masthead may promise news but the content delivers obsession. Highlights Include: Current Notes that read like dispatches from a legal insurgency; Satirical columns Own Column Letter Bag Mirror dripping with coded allegiances; International affairs refracted through the lens of grievance and vindication; A tone that oscillates between prophetic indignation and theatrical absurdity. Why It Matters: These issues are scarce in institutional holdings and virtually unseen on the open market. They offer a vivid glimpse into the final phase of Kenealy's public life when the courtroom had closed its doors but the printing press remained his weapon. For collectors of radical Victorian print culture legal history or editorial eccentricity this is a crusade in five acts. Preserved in a modern card cover prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 22 x 35 cms.
