Beschreibung

2 small quarto sized folding printed poems on pink toned paper with black outline borders. The poems are simple rhymes on the events of the "Tamworth" Bazaar held possibly for a National School to be opened in 1828 and the following year. This was organised by the "then" Vicar Francis Blick, raising over £300, so successful that another was held soon after to finish raising the money needed. There are some handling marks a horizontal fold on one and the top corner missing of the other. they are initialed E.S.P & E.S.W. (probably a local citizen poet One appears to mention "cuts" or wood-cuts and that it was named after Robert Southey's "The Cataract of Lodore". This again is a parody of sorts and has nothing to do with the actual poem. This poem mentions "Cockford's Club in London. Very rare local Tamworth historical items from an archive recently purchased relating to the Holbeche Family. Very ephemeral and possibly unique. Each measure approx 9 x 8 and are 4 sided with fold. Very Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 7761
