| Summary: | Broadside ballad sheet [replete with several spelling and printing errors] printed by Peter Brereton of Dublin, a ballad-sheet printer who flourished in the second half of the 19th century. During this time he occupied various addresses in Dublin city, among them 1 Lower Exchange St. and 55 and 56 Cooke St., Dublin. The first lines of this broadside ballad are: "Mars the God of battle has now seased [sic, ceased] their canon to roar...". With references to French general and politician Patrice de MacMahon, 6th Marquess of MacMahon, 1st Duke of Magenta, (1808-1893), who led the French army in the war against the Germans in 1870, referred to here as 'McMahon'; Napoleon III, [Charles-Louis Napoléon Bonaparte, (1808-1873)] and François Achille Bazaine (1811-1888), here called 'Bazin'. Featuring a crude woodcut at top of sheet of a man, seated deep in thought, at a table in an interior, a candle in front of him on the table with a clay pipe near his elbow. |
