London, 1868. 9 1/2" x 7 1/2". Rare. Annoyed to Death [Broadside]. [Execution]. Bishop, Richard. Farewell to the World of Richard Bishop, Who Now Lies Under Sentence of Death in Maidstone Gaol, For the Murder of Alfred Cartwright. London: H[enry]. Disley, Printer, [1868]. 9-1/2" x 7-1/2" verse broadside. Main text in two columns… separated by rules. Some toning, creasing and a few minor stains, contemporary annotations to verso, otherwise fine. $200. * A broadside ballad issued before the public hanging of Bishop for the murder of his neighbor, Cartwright. The murder was provoked by a shouting match between Bishop and another man on a nearby street that woke Cartwright. Irritated, he called the police. Bishop was arrested and an angry Cartwright followed him and the policemen, proclaiming angrily that he intended to press charges against his noisy neighbor. Angered by his taunting, Bishop broke free of the police and stabbed Cartwright to death. Bishop was sentenced at the Old Bailey but hanged outside Maidstone Prison, Kent, 27 days later. It was the last public execution to take place in Kent, less than a month before the last public execution in England, which occurred in London on May 26, 1868. Our copy, likely unique, is probably a printer's proof. It is printed on scrap paper watermarked 1844 and has an unrelated annotation dated 1848 to its verso. London, 1868. 9 1/2" x 7 1/2". Rare. (ilustrador).

No Binding. Condición: Good. Rare Broadside Calling for Support, Food, and Clothing for Striking Miners, 1922// "The Case of the Somerset Miners / Send Clothing and Money to Miners' Headquarters", "Cresson, PA. James Mark (VP District No. 2., United Mine Workers.in charge if miners' pickets in New York, October 19, 1922". Print…ed on one side only. 24"x 12" Several old folds; 5 inch tear in the middle fold at bottom repaired on reverse with Japanese pressure archival tape; two inch-long tears in the margins of the top horizontal fold; one chip in the top middle fold, missing a 1/20inch x 1/8 inch piece, affecting four words. [++] Provenance: Library of Congress, with their surplus rubber stamp at bottom right. Good/Very Good condition. [++]This is a rare broadside seeking household items and money for the relief of the striking miners of the hard/tough/brutal Somerset Mine strike of 1922-3. The miners struck for union representation from the United Mine Workers against the Berwind-White Company, which ran a very tight ship, evidently. The miners for Somerset lived in a classical company-town existence, with their pay being mostly entirely absorbed by the company via rent for company-owned houses, stores, food, water, and so on, all aspects of life controlled by the employer who/which retrieved the salary of its underpaid workers by controlling all aspects of the workers' lives. So the miners struck for representation from the union for more money and management resisted, especially since it would cost them profit during a year that saw coal production falling by a third. So the strike began and lasted from 1922 to 1923, during which Berwind-White employed scabs and security and thugs to intimidate and control their workers, evicting 1200, sending hundreds of families into a Pennsylvania tent life for the winter, stopping the flow of water, and general thuggery. The strike ended unsuccessfully in 1923, though the union came in by 1933. It was reported by union officials that "all was not in vein", as wages paid were now union scale, conditions weren't nearly as bleak, and the company towns/stores were not as ruthless-https://www.iup.edu/archives/coal/unions-and-mining/that-magnificent-fight-for-unionism/ Reading this summation and plea is a heartbreaker, and will no doubt make a person appreciate the idea of unions, especially in the U.S.A. of the 1920's/1930's.

Soft cover. Condición: New. Limited Edition. Number 19 of 251 copies, long sold out and enormously sought after. SIGNED by Gaiman and the artist. Known for his infinite attention-to-detail in his stories as well as any other undertaking, Neil Gaiman never disappoints. Here he offers up a limited edition broadside titled "Eight R…ules for Writing," printed in a strict edition of 251 copies (this being #34) on a Vandercook SP15 proof press. The paper is 10" x 22" Stonehenge Rising white 250gm with a deckle edge on the top and bottom edges. The inks used were Van Son and Hostmann & Steinberg oil based and rubber based inks and overprint varnish. The typefaces were carved by hand out of birch faced plywood and battleship linoleum. The artwork was created by engraving on the endgrain of maple wood and carving battleship linoleum that was mounted onto 3/4" plywood. Five impressions (individual times the paper was hand fed through the press) were made for each color, accounting for over 1,500 impressions including proof and set-up sheets used in the registration process. Two tones of black were used in the printing of the ravens. The top ravens are in red black and the bottom ravens in charcoal black. The text color was hand mixed using a variety of inks including a silver-based letterpress ink. There are eight ravens pictured in the broadside. Six of them are in black and two are embossed into the paper making them almost invisible. This is intentional. Two of the qualities of good writing are almost always invisible. As Gaiman notes, "Just because we cannot name them doesn't mean they are not there working in the background." Brilliant. The raven as a symbol for the author and the task of writing extends beyond the obvious comparison to Poe and his poem of the same name. The raven's intelligence is possibly its most wondrous feature considering that these birds can be trained to speak. "Nevermore" was the ominous word spoken by the raven forever haunting Edgar Allan Poe. The raven is often heard to caw a sound that resembles "cras" The word cras is tomorrow in Latin and that is what most writers struggle withputting off what they could do today until tomorrow. The raven is both a warning and an inspiration. The raven's symbolism also embodies wisdom and knowledge. All these things are useful to writers who are honing their craft. In Norse mythology the god Odin has two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, that serve as his eyes and ears. Huginn represents thought, while Muninn symbolizes memorythey are constantly advising Odin and he heeds their advice. Both of the attributes of memory and thought are necessary for good writing. There are many more things that link the raven to writing, but part of the fun of the broadside is to leave some of the mystery for discovery by others. Language: eng Language: eng. Signed by Author.
