 UNRECORDED ELECTION SATIRE
ANON.
(London), (1812).
Broadside, large folio, 11" x 16", hand coloured woodcut illustration, with Letter Press poem beneath printed in double column, some light usage, with corners frayed (not affecting text), the whole laid down on backing sheet.
A moral tale. A Parson returns home and tells his wife that he has been preaching a Sermon on the misfortunes of Job and that his own patience and strength of mind were equal to Job's. Whereupon a servant enters and tells the parson that he has split a cask of Ale upon which the parson vents his wrath on the servant. First line: "Twas at some country place, a Parson preaching". Apparently unknown to Anstey's son when he published his fathers poems in "Poetical Works", 1808.
