Beschreibung

Handbill, 135 x 170 mm. It is unusual to see masters addressing demands of their journeymen in this very public way, though it is seems to be an attempt to sway the public into seeing them as profiteering on the death of the Duke of York. "N.B. Good Workmen will meet with Employment by applying at Mr. Miller's, Half Moon, Inn, Bigg Market." Where presumably they would be offered 6s per day. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 44566
