About This Item
Exeter: Flindell [Printer] Single sided printed broadside, approximately 175mm x 220mm in size, n.d. c.1820? Quite bright and clean. The full title is 'Wanted Immediately, Many Thousands, to Pay Off Old Scores and New Ones. For Which Purpose an Auction Will be Held of All That Inn Famous Concern, Situate in Bampfylde-Lane, at the Sign of the Great Cann, in the Parish of Spreyton, for Sale of the Undermentioned Live and Dead Stock'. The printer is probably Thomas Flindell fl. 1812-1824 (see BBTI). Relating mainly to local politicians ('Bampfylde-Lane' presumably relates to Sir Charles Warwick Bampfylde, an Exeter MP between 1796 and 1812), there is also a mention of 'a large lot of White Hats on dirty poles', which presumably relates to Henry Hunt who was famous for wearing a white hat. The individual disguised as, 'One Old Poltimore [a village in Devon] Cock, without spurs, having Chicken by various Hens', remains unknown to this cataloguer. First Edition. Unbound. Good+. 8vo. Broadside.
