A four-page advertisement for Bell's paper printed on two conjugate leaves by B. Bensley Bolt Court Fleet Street. First sheet illustrated with numerous sporting subjects in the style of George Cruikshank. 1 vols. Folio. Bell's Life in London was a rival to Pierce Egan's Life in London and Sporting Guide an offshoot of his highly successful book. Egan began his periodical in 1824 as a Sunday weekly and in 1826 asked Cruikshank to design some wood engravings to head the paper's regular features which increased its circulation. Some Cruikshank designs were subsequently used without the artist's consent by Bell's paper and in 1827 Egan unable to achieve the success of his competitor sold out to Bell who merged the two journals into one. Bell's was a conspicuous success: it sold as many as sixteen thousand copies weekly to the poorest classes. This advertisement in addition to its lively cover of over twenty woodcuts features a number of poetical effusions to Royalty the Nobility Members of Parliament the Clergy the Army and Navy the Commercial Agricultural and Theatrical Worlds and of course Sportsmen of Every Degree The advertisement is not a part of Bell's periodical but was a separately issued publication to promote circulation.
