Sobre este artículo
British Museum Publications, London, xxx edition, 1980. Laminated illustrated wrappers, small 4to, 25 cm. 128 pp, chiefly ills. From the blurb: "Murders, hangings, disasters, moral tales, politics and religion were the favourite themes of the single-sheet ballads and broadsides produced in nineteenth-century England. Sold by hawkers and pedlars, on city streets or at country fairs, they entertained and informed the literate poor. So much interest has been shown in the texts of these catchpenny prints that their striking woodblock illustrations tend to be overlooked. Thomas Gretton has selected over ninety examples of these to show their unexpected variety: gruesomeu naïve, bizarre or comical, they have an immediate appeal. In shifting the focus away from the texts the author sets the illustrations in their context and argues for their historical importance in documenting a way of seeing the world which is now unfamiliar, as well as reflecting the attitudes and aspirations of the people who gave them birth. Wrappers somewhat darkened, otherwise Very Good.
