Ballads were no longer confined to the soapbox. Mass communication was now possible. The broadsides pasted on walls and disseminated among the masses, together with the written ballads hawked at street corners, represented the zeitgeist of popular culture in early modern Europe. Frequently designed in 'blackletter' gothic type and accompanied with distinctive woodcut illustrations, this dynamic, lively form encompassed the obsessions and characteristic humour of the times. This beautifully designed book highlights some of the most striking and amusing examples from the British Library's collections and provides brief commentary on the political and social background of the times. Frequent topics of illustration include monsters, witches, criminals, drinking, war and politics. 650 0 $a Wood-engraving. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85147844 650 0 $a Illustration of books $y 16th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85064410 650 0 $a Illustration of books $y 17th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85064411 650 0 $a Broadsides $x History. 710 2 $a British Library. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81139951 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171220014258.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E0118426E55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
