Lightly browned slightly creased one or two tiny nicks to edges but generally fairly bright. The printer Alexander Dunbar doesn't appear in the SBTI but is possibly the son of the Alexander Dunbar fl. 1763 mentioned as a 'running stationer' ie. street hawker of books and pamphlets in the SBTI. The broadside is a satire on the Conservative candidates James Andrew Broun-Ramsay and John Learmonth who were comfortably defeated in the Edinburgh election of 1835 by the Whigs John Campbell and James Abercromby. Abercromby later became speaker of the House of Commons and then a lord and his seat was then won by Thomas Babington Macauley. NLS only in JISC. First Edition. Unbound. Good. Elephant Folio.

A couple of small chips small hole to top left hand corner two closed tears to bottom edge slightly creased but generally in good order. Printed on blue paper the broadside relates to the 1859 by-election in Worcester East contested between the Whig Frederick Gough-Calthorpe and the Tory Sir John Pakington 2nd Baron Hampton where Gough-Calthorpe was elected with a majority of 339. This is an anti-Pakington broadside noting his personalisation of the campaign "The 'Printer's Devil' has exhausted his stock of I's" and quoting a newspaper article calling him a "bigoted Puseyite".
