A remarkably well-preserved fragile survival of early New England street literature. $1950. This exceptionally rare execution broadside serves as a sensational artifact from one of the most legally significant criminal cases in early nineteenth-century New England. Abraham Prescott was convicted of the brutal June 1833 murder of his employer's wife Sally Cochran following two highly publicized trials held in Concord New Hampshire in 1834 and 1835. The case drew massive public interest and stands as a major landmark in American legal history due to the robust deeply sophisticated insanity defense mounted by Prescott's counsel a strategy that sparked intense contemporary debate regarding moral insanity somnambulism and criminal responsibility long before the modern legal standard was codified. Despite his lawyers' innovative defense Prescott was sentenced to death. After a temporary stay delayed his initial December 1835 execution date he was publicly hanged in Hopkinton New Hampshire on January 6 1836. Published immediately following his execution to satisfy a captivated public this broadside features a dramatic moralizing verse account that rejects the insanity defense entirely. Instead it explicitly frames the murder as a calculated crime of passion capturing the prevailing public sentiment and punitive theological views of the era with the striking verse: "Oh! lust accursed lust! 'twas this / For which I did the deed; / Forfeiting heaven a. unknown

1824ref. BB056Murder Trial Account of the Murder of the late Mr William Weare . the coroner's inquest the trials of the prisoners and the execution. By George Henry Jones. London 1824. With 3 landscapes 2 folding plates finely lithographed by C J Hullmandel. 8vo iv344pp; half-leather marbled boards spine label "Thurtell's Trial" lightly scuffed very solid and clean throughout. First edition. William Weare was a solicitor of Lyon's Inn and a gambler. His killer was John Thurtell 1794–1824 a sports promoter amateur boxer a former Royal Marine officer and a son of the Mayor of Norwich. Thurtell owed Weare a gambling debt of £300 an immense sum at the time equivalent to £24500 in 20151. Thurtell believed Weare had cheated him of the money. Whatever the truth when Weare demanded payment Thurtell murdered him rather than pay up. He invited Weare to join him and his friends – Joseph Hunt a tavern landlord and William Probert a former convict and alcohol merchant – for a weekend of gambling at Probert's cottage at the site of Oaks Close off Gills Hill Lane subsequently popularly known as Murder Lane23 Radlett. On 24 October 1823 they journeyed from London in Thurtell's horse-drawn gig but Weare was killed in a dark lane just short of their destination. The gruesome and callous events created such public sensation that it attracted numerous ballads and theatre shows at the time along with comment by the essayist Babington Macaulay and the crime used variously in the work of Sir Walter Scott William Hazllitt and Robert Louis Stevenson. After the trial one of the accused was hanged and another Joseph Hunt was transported to Botany Bay Australia. Charles Joseph Hullmandel 1789–1850 studied art and printmaking and is considered amongst the most important figures in the development of British lithography. He developed a method for reproducing gradations in tones and for creating the effect of soft color washes which enabled the reproduction of Romantic landscape paintings of the type made popular by J. M. W. Turner. Hullmandel's essay The Art of Drawing on Stone 1824 was an important handbook of lithography issued the same year as this account of the trial.

An Account of the Cruel and Barbarous Murder of Mary Baker Supposed by Matthew Welch With Whom She Lived in Adultery In Drury-Lane London Early on Monday Morning June 21 1813. Being an Awful Caution and Warning to All Whoremongers and Adulterers. Newcastle: Marshall Printer 1813. 11-1/2" x 6-3/4" 29 x 17.3 cm broadside mounted to 13" x 10" 33 x 25.9 cm backing sheet. Moderate toning light foxing and soiling small tear and a few tiny holes to broadside without loss to text moderate toning and light foxing to backing sheet which was removed from an album. Rare. $1850. A remarkably rare luridly titled provincial broadside detailing a gruesome London murder. Mary Baker and Matthew Welch "cohabited as man and wife" in Drury Lane despite both being married to other people. Following a violent domestic quarrel that required the landlord's intervention Baker was discovered murdered with "her brains beat out several cuts on her head and her breast black from the blows she had received." According to this account the violence was triggered by jealousy after Baker paid a visit to her actual husband which "provoked the vengeance of her bloody paramour." While Regency-era street literature and true-crime broadsides typically balanced moral instruction with cheap titillation this Newcastle printing adopts an exceptionally strident fire-and-brimstone tone. Rather than casting Baker purely as a victim the text frames her horrific murder as a consequence of her own sins-calling it "not only.an awful judgment of God upon the guilty offenders but also.a salutary caution and warning to others that they may avoid the paths which inevitably lead to destruction." An exceptional survival of regional popular print culture capturing 19th-century attitudes toward domestic violence infidelity and divine retribution. Extremely rare.
