Light wear and shallow creasing to upper right margin roughly 4" with a dash of red ink on verso; Very Good to Near Fine. Poster produced by the Huntley Street Squatters who were located at 1-9 Huntley Street in Bloomsbury. In addition to being the center of the London Squatters Union the Huntley Street squat was home to more than 150 squatters and 32 children who occupied the building in 1977-78. The mansion block owned by Camden and Islington Health Authority had lain empty for two years and quickly became a focus for the squatters' movement in London. Led by Piers Corbyn the squatters set up a café hosted festivals and even set up an office which helped to re-house the homeless. After 17 months 300 police officers with bulldozers converged upon the building and evicted all who lived there.

1778WRCAM44871London: Henry Fenwick 1778. 88; 151pp. bound with: A PETITION OF THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX. London: Henry Fenwick 1769. 11pp. Contemporary calf spine gilt leather label. Boards heavily worn head and foot of spine chipped. Very minor scattered foxing. Good plus. In a brown half morocco and cloth slipcase. The county of Middlesex essentially London was the heart of radical politics in England at the time of the Revolution and the greatest pro-American feeling was found in the merchants and working classes of the metropolis. The colonists often appealed directly to Middlesex for support. These works contain petitions relating to the American colonies dating from June 1774 to March 1778 including petitions regarding the Quebec Act in which the people express their concern over the encroachment of Catholicism and French influence in the colony. Likewise it includes the text of a letter from John Hancock to the mayor of London dated September 1775 expressing a hope for peace between Britain and the colonies. Adams notes that these two titles are often found bound together sometimes with other publications of the Council. The petition of the freeholders of Middlesex County concerns the John Wilkes case. Wilkes ran for Parliament and was elected as a radical candidate for Middlesex but was arrested and imprisoned shortly thereafter for seditious libel. Wilkes spoke out against the British war against the American colonies and his opposition to the Crown was a rallying point for the American cause. ESTC T108621 T108605 T43921.
