[Collection of nineteenth-century English broadside ballads], [1840-1860]
Rare Books
15 ballads on 12 broadsides (1 mounted), most with engraved head-pieces or minor illustrations. Without the music. Chiefly English, but includes some Scottish and American ballads. The majority are printed in London, with two printed in Newcastle and Birmingham, respectively. The ballads appear to range in date from the early 1800s to the 1850s. Those which reference specific events: Queen Victoria's 1840 wedding to Prince Albert, referenced in no.10; political references to the Corn Laws (no.3), Derby and Disraeli's tax legislation (no.4), and the state visit of Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie in 1855 (no.5) date most of the material to the 1840s-1850s. Includes social topics such as cuckoldry, death and crime. The blackface minstrelsy tradition is also represented (no.3 and 11).
