About this Item
Single side printed broadside, approximately 210mm x 335mm in size. Lightly creased, with some minor offsetting, small tear to foot, but generally quite bright and clean. Political satire relating to the Cato Street conspiracy dressed as a shipping news announcement. The boat, 'Revolutionaire' is suffering from dry-rot, "owing to her principal Supporters being of 'Thistle-wood', instead of Heart of Oak", with the stores of the boat "consisting of Hand Grenades, Pikes, Daggers, Cutlasses, and Shoe-Maker's Knives, will be put up to Auction; and have for that purpose been lately removed into a Stable in Cato-Street, for convenience of sale". Mention is also made of the Manchester radicals and White Hats (probably relating to Peterloo and Henry Hunt). Unrecorded Size: Folio. Seller Inventory # 004064
