Item description from seller

Scarce Northumberland election broadside printed by M. Smith of Alnwick during the county election of 1826. Addressed to the freeholders of Northumberland, the broadside responds to statements issued by Henry Thomas Liddell's committee and challenges claims that his candidature arose solely from "public grounds." The anonymous author, signing himself "A Looker-On," discusses political influence, family interests and electoral strategy in one of the most contentious county elections of the late Georgian period. An important piece of provincial political ephemera providing contemporary evidence for electioneering practices immediately before parliamentary reform. No separate institutional record for this specific item has been traced. Related Northumberland election broadsides are held in major research collections, but this particular printing does not appear to be separately catalogued. Near fine condition with fold creases, light age toning and minor handling wear. Dimensions: 21.5 x 27.8 cm. A scarce and apparently unrecorded survival from the Northumberland election of 1826.…
