While searching the internet for Civil War pamphlets and propaganda in addition to what I've found in books, I happened upon this incredibly obscure and offensive publication. It seems to be part of a war between the mentioned John Taylor and an ironmonger, and in addition to offensive language including a swear word I now know was used at the time, they have added an insulting picture!
An academic website described it briefly as a devil creature 'voiding' the ironmonger, and it would be difficult to be more personally offensive! I thought it such an unusual and entertaining publication that I have made this copy, the style of which also being different to what I have worked on so far.
