Dealer Notes
the poster is not dated, but Hubert Smith was Bridgnorth Town Clerk in the 1880s, so it's safe to assume that it dates to this period, measures 17.25 inches by 11 inches approx. the poster has some fold lines, and will be posted folded along those lines, noticeable edges wear with some short tears, creases, marking and loss, else in good general condition. A FASCINATING PIECE OF SOCIAL HISTORY WHICH CAME FROM THE PERSONAL COLLECTION OF HUBERT SMITH, AND IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE ONLY SURVIVING COPY.
Author Hubert Smith
