(BROADSIDES) [Anon.]
A Plaster for the Wounded Spirit, and the Wedding Ring. [Caption title]New-York: John Evans, 234 Bowery, [n.d., 1830's?]. Broadside, 9¾ x 6¾ inches, with ornamental type border. Margins trimmed; expert mend to center fold line, verso; mild browning and light foxing.
This unusual broadside begins with three columns in small type citing Biblical passages. The main body of the broadside is in slightly larger type. Two small type columns, as described above, (save for each with two lines of vertical text abutting each column) then flank a large printed circle. Within this circle the following is printed around the circle and centered: “Jesus my Friend, / His Love will extend, / It knew no beginning / And never will end.”
Not located. OCLC 15447219 identifies an 1819 effort published by Evans. Evans is also listed as a printer and petitioner within “New York - - Currency. Memorial of mechanics and artisans in the City of New York on the subject of the present deranged state of the money market, &c.” (1834) p. 6.
