Broadside “...Act for the More Effectually Detaining in Custody Napoleon Buonaparte,...”
April 11, 1816-Dated, Historic Letterpress Printed Broadside, “An Act for the More Effectually Detaining in Custody Napoleon Buonaparte,” (no place or maker possibly printed in London), Choice Very Fine.
This very rare, original and quite large historic Broadside measures 23.5” x 9.5” with the original owner's inscription in upper margin edge dated in 1816, being away from all text. An official Act of Parliament suspending Habeas Corpus, so that Napoleon Bonaparte could be held in Exile Without Trial. This Broadside is very pleasing in its quality, boldly printed in black upon clean, period laid paper, having significant original press text embossing to the sharp black printed text, attesting to its sharp quality and total originality. The are a few trivial edge selvage nicks, overall bright, clean and very impressive for display. Amazing content.
