Broadsides & Handbills:
|
Broadsides and handbills, single sheets of paper printed
on one side only, were a popular information medium in
the nineteenth century. Broadsides were commonly
posted on buildings, fences or poles, while handbills
were passed around like fliers. Examples in the
museum's collection range in date from the mid-eighteenth
to the early twentieth century. They deal with a
variety of subjects: politics, civic events, advertising
and public notices. |
