Crime was a rich field for broadside printers.
About this Event

Please note: Booking is Essential

The genre of true crime is not a modern invention, as this talk by Rare Books Librarian Sarah Hume will explore. Crime was a rich field for broadside printers, with murders, arson, poison and executions selling fast and selling well.

In-person: For access to the event, please use the Aldermanbury entrance to Guildhall Library/The London Centre.
