What you’re looking at
This is a title page from 1736 (not a Victorian penny dreadful, but an earlier 18th-century pamphlet). The page announces "Thoughts on Trade," a work by Edward Lloyd, a silk-thrower formerly of Dublin, concerning the state of Irish silk manufacturers and the poor. The pamphlet addresses trade restrictions in Ireland and includes prefatory materials on British distillery, Prince Eugene, and a royal wedding, reportedly circulated and well-received in London coffeehouses near St. James's.
