187045149London: s.i. 1870. Very Good. London: s.i. ca. 1870s. Small broadside flyer 20x13.5cm printed on laid paper. A few small closed tears at previous folds light soil and spotting else Very Good.<br /> <br /> Unrecorded broadside poking fun at the press and an England awash in the different newspapers that mushroomed throughout the middle of the 19th century--national local daily women's art science sports religious--and all providing wildly different takes on the same story. The handbill lists the opinions of twenty-two newspapers "upon the subject of the text which tells you that Jacob kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice and wept." The Daily Telegraph states "If Rachel was a pretty girl and kept her face clean we can't see what Jacob had to cry about" while the Jewish Chronicle surmises that "He wept for joy because it tasted so good" in direct contradiction with the British Standard which reports that "We reckon Jacob cried because Rachel had been eating onions." <br /> <br /> Not separately catalogued in OCLC or Library Hub as of August 2025. s.i. unknown
