....The term broadside ballad usually connotes a song or poem (occasionally more than one) printed on one side of a single sheet of paper. Sold in the streets by itinerant vendors, broadside ballads ranged in size from tabloid-sized and larger sheets to small 4\" x 8\" slips of paper. As a general rule broadside ballads were, like newspapers, intended to be ephemeral, and were usually printed on the cheapest, thinnest papers. The quality of printing was usually poor: typographic errors, mixing of type faces and styles, and irregularity of punctuation were commonplace. This suggests that getting the ballads published and on the street while the news was still fresh was of primary importance.
The \"broadside ballad,\" ... one of the most widespread and enduring forms of street literature, is defined as a narrative song or poem printed on one side of a single sheet of paper. Occasionally both sides of the sheet will be printed, and, somewhat more frequently, a broadside will contain two or more songs or poems. The ballads were usually topical in nature, that is, they comment on or commemorate current events. Broadside ballads are frequently compared to newspapers in that they usually concerned events of current interest. Moreover, in common with the modern \"tabloid\" press, broadside ballads tended to dwell on the more sensational news of the day: crimes, executions, natural disasters, scandals, battles, etc. align=\"center\">Please go to my me button for additional information on collectibles we are offering!

Shipping ProceduresI pride myself on quick shipping. I usually ship on Mondays,Wednesdays and on Fridays except on holidays. Once a package is in thePostal Service hands, I loose control over it. Generally for USshipments you can expect delivery within 3 or 4 business days (or 3-9for media rate). For non-US shipments, once the package leaves the US,even the USPS looses control over it. I can not predict transit timesfor these packages. They quite often are held up in customs in thereceiving country. Please be patient.
Inever use second chance offers as there are too many fraudulent peopleout there trying to copy successful sales. If you get an email with asecond chance offer it is not from me and is therefore not genuine sosend it to for them to handle.
