About This Item
London: J. Tabby [Printer], 1831. Single sided broadside, approximately 215mm x 340mm in size. Slightly chipped to edges, small spot to centre and one towards foot, otherwise quite bright and clean. A benefit for Mr. [James] Wallack, an actor and later manager, with a Napoleon related play, 'The Little Corporal; or, the School of Bonaparte', relating to his time at the military school at Brienne and the celebrated snow ball fight led by Napoleon in the winter of 1783-4, with a 'terrific bombardment with snow balls!' Also appearing were Cooke's Equestrian establishment and his 'celebrated stud of ponies', promising a 'grand attack of Lilliputian cavalry'. The printer was (I think) J.[ohn] Tabby (whose printing of his own imprint doesn't act as a very good advert for his services), see BBTI. First Edition. Unbound. Good. Folio. Broadside.
