Very good condition. The grouping contains a number of illustrations and a pair of broadsides dated 1888 advertising the upcoming Mystery of Booth's Farm: An Old Birmingham Story, the broadsides are identical, and preview the Victorian serial by J. Cuming Walters. The illustrations number around 15, with numerous copies. Some are page proofs and a handful are original pen and ink sketches. It's an unusual bunch and we haven't been able to link them to the 1888 series, but that seems the most likely place they would come from. That said, they appear to be more illustrative of a non-fiction work than of a work of fiction. William Booth was a notorious forger from Birmingham, and the person for whom the song 'Twice Tried, Twice Hung, Twice Buried' was written. Item #13801
