| 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: "You Catholicks [sic] all come let us rejoice, / Our Holy Clergy has been set free...". Featuring at top of sheet an extremely crude woodcut of a man dressed in robes, beams of light from overhead as he looks out on a ground of skeletons and dead bodies [Moses holding up his staff as the Red Sea is parting? or a reference to Moses holding up his hands at the Battle of Refidim (or Rephidim)?]. |
