1836ref. 859071836. Rare Account of a "Brutal and Barbarous" Victorian Assault in Northern England: 1 Copy Located by OCLC and Library Hub Broadside. Rape. Urwin Nicholas 1807-1898. Smith Thomas. The Trial and Conviction of Nicholas Urwin and Thomas Smith At Durham Assizes March 1836 For a Brutal and Barbarous Assault on the Body of Mary Dodds An Old Woman Aged 77 Near Crawcrook On Sunday July 5 1836 sic. Newcastle: W. Kent Printer 99 Side 1836. 10" x 7" 25.4 x 17.8 cm broadside mounted to 10-1/2" x 7-3/4" 26.7 x 19.7 cm backing sheet. Text in two columns below headline. Moderate toning small spot near upper-right corner. A well-preserved copy of a rare broadside. $1750. A harrowing account of a "brutal and barbarous" Victorian assault. The broadside details the trial of Nicholas Urwin 25 and Thomas Smith 29 for the violation and robbery of 77-year-old Mary Dodds. The text utilizes the period's characteristic euphemistic reporting noting the witness described the scene "in a manner which left no doubt that she had undergone violation." The assault was particularly vicious; Dodds was beaten until her "nose bled for three weeks" and threatened with decapitation if she cried out. A Notable Bibliographic Error: While this broadside concludes with the dramatic assertion that both men were sentenced to be executed on April 7 1836 contemporary records reveal a different outcome. While Smith's fate followed the gallows Urwin's sentence was commuted to life imprisonment; he was subsequently transported to Australia to serve a life term of penal labor. Such discrepancies underscore the rush of local printers like W. Kent to capitalize on sensational crimes before the final judicial ink was dry.

1967ref. 151522N.p.: N.p. 1967. Vintage synopsis and cast list for the 1967 play which premiered in November at the Bouwerie Lane Theatre. Playwright Charles Ludlam's second play following "Big Hotel" earlier that same year for the Play-House of the Ridiculous an experimental camp theatrical ensemble founded by John Vaccaro in the mid-1960s. The play featured several Warhol superstars as quarrelsome interplanetary royalty with a loosely structured plot meant to showcase the actors' personalities more than any definite narrative or character development. The production faced difficulties due to disagreements between Ludlam and Vaccaro leading Ludlam to depart from the group create his own theatrical troupe called The Ridiculous Theatrical Company and stage a separate version of the play under the alternate title "When Queens Collide" which debuted several months after Vaccaro's production.
