Broadsheet papers were a popular forerunner of the tabloid newspaper, featuring sensational reports of current events, especially violent crimes, executions and political scandal. This collection, first published in 1871, features lurid murder stories, entertaining ballads which lampoon the politicians and royalty of their day, and commemorations of national events.

James Catnach (1792-1841) became famous for publishing satirical ballads and sensational accounts of famous murders in his daily broadsheets, first printed in his own home in Seven Dials, London. Capitalising on the turbulent times, Catnach grew rich on producing lurid descriptions of crimes and the trials and executions that followed them. His imagination occasionally over-stepped the mark; he was once jailed for libel after claiming that a local butcher made his sausages from human flesh. This sympathetic and entertaining biography of Catnach, first published in 1878 by London raconteur Charles Hindley (d. 1893), describes Catnach's rise to prominence and features numerous reproductions of his ballads and stories. It is encompasses the development of early forms of mass media and the wider political and social currents of the time, and provides insights into popular culture in 19th-century London.
