Printed Ephemera — 1830
Trials of the Prisoners at The Old Bailey Sessions, April, 1830
Trial broadside printed with a list of prisoners tried at the Old Bailey Sessions in April 1830 together with the trial verdicts and the sentences of those convicted. Such cheaply produced trial broadsides were published by a small number of printers many of whom, such as Thomas Birt, James Catnach and James Pitts were based around the Seven Dials area of London. Spelling and grammar was often poor and the details not always accurate. This example was published by Thomas Birt.
