Description
Summary:
Electronic reproduction of Sadleir's collection of 'fast literature' and street ephemera. The collection includes broadsides, cartoons, playbills, advertising, ballads and penny fiction, and is concerned with the darker side of London life: the gambling dens, criminal refuges, brothels, music halls and slums. It was formed by Michael Sadleir, in part as research for his 1940 novel about a London prostitute, Fanny by gaslight.
