Item description from seller

Single leaf broadside. Printed in two columns. Edges uncut. Browned and a trifle creased. A remarkably rare survival of a broadside featuring two ballads; the first, 'Liston's Drolleries', an amusing satirical song marvelling at contemporary technological and cultural advancements, including steam power, 'Safety lamps and Congreve rockets', and German Gothic literature: 'Valmondi, the Vampire, and Der Freischutz'. The second, 'Young Donald of Dundee', popular Scottish air telling of a marriage that is not to be, is far more maudlin in tone. OCLC records a single copy (NLS); COPAC adds no further. Size: Dimensions 170 x 250 mm.
