Historic Satirical Newspapers A Slap at Slop and the Bridge Street Gang, 16th edition (1821), 4pp broadsheet, paper a little dusty and creased, some weakness in folds but legible throughout. Rare. One of the most sought after early 19th c satirical publications, carrying illustrations by George Cruikshank. The edition is particularly notable. It carries a complete column on the recent death of Queen Caroline (estranged wife of George IV), as well as a piece on the Peterloo Massacre, with illustration of the memorial to be erected and the ‘Peterloo Medal’ design.
