| Abstract: | Broadsides were a popular medium of information in the 19th century. Printed in a wide variety of single sheet sizes, they were used to advertise products, services, sales and entertainments. They were also used to announce public events, political candidates and commemorative ceremonies. While broadsides are largely textual, many contain illustrations along with the text. The examples in the collection date primarily from the mid 19th century, but representative 18th and 20th century work is included. The collection is arranged by size, then by object ID number. | ||
