[N.p: S.n., (1850)]. A Verse Broadside by a Female Poet About the Sensational Parkman-Webster Murder [Broadside]. [Murder]. Doe, Mary G. [1801-1870]. [Webster, John White (1793-1850)]. Soliloquy of Prof. John W. Webster, After the Murder of Dr. Geo. Parkman up to the Time of His Execution. [N.p: S.n., (1850)]. 12" x 9" (31 x 23 cm) broadside, headline and three-column text within decorative border. Moderate toning and a few small stains, edges and fold lines reinforced with cellotape on verso, some chips and wear to edges, several tears, mostly invisible, minor loss to text in two places, legibility not affected. $450. * This verse broadside concerns one of the most sensational events in Antebellum America: the murder at Harvard Medical School of Dr. George Parkman, a prominent Boston business man and Harvard alumnus, by Professor John W. Webster, who was deeply in debt to him. This case attracted attention due to its gruesome nature and the high social status of the victim and murderer. Doe was a Maine poet. There are three other issues of her Webster broadside: one with the imprint "Advertiser Press, Biddeford, Maine"; one with a slightly different title, Soliloquy, Of Prof. John W. Webster, After the Disappearance of Dr. Geo. Parkman up to the Time of His Execution, and an Advertiser Press imprint; and one with the latter title and no imprint. All are rare. OCLC locates 5 copies of our imprint (American Antiquarian Society, Brown, Harvard, Harvard Law School, University of Michigan). Not in Sabin.…
