Charles Hindley
Broadsheet papers were a popular forerunner of the tabloid newspaper, featuring sensational reports of current events, especially violent crimes, executions and political scandal. This collection, first published in 1871, features lurid murder stories, entertaining ballads which lampoon the politicians and royalty of their day, and commemorations of national events.
