- Curator's comments
- John Catnach was said by Charles Hindley to have set up a press in Wardour Street when he came to London in 1813. The address printed on this broadside, "Sherrard Street" (now Sherwood Street), is close to Wardour Street, but not otherwise recorded for either Catnach. The quality of both the paper and the printing are vastly inferior to other known work by the Catnachs.
