1790s 1795 Bill Libel Notices Posting Putting Sticker Sticking
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a man in the 1790s engaging in a new way of posting a libel. The image shows him sticking up posters or notices, possibly containing defamatory content, on a public wall. This act was common during this time period as a means of spreading rumors or false information about individuals or organizations.
The poster itself is an interesting glimpse into the past, showcasing the methods used for communication and propaganda in the late 18th century. It serves as a reminder of how easily misinformation can be spread and the potential consequences it can have on those targeted by such libelous acts.
The man in the photo appears focused and determined as he carries out his task, highlighting the seriousness with which these actions were taken at that time. His role as a bill sticker reflects the societal norms and practices of that era, shedding light on how people engaged with media and information dissemination before modern technology took over.
Overall, this print offers valuable insights into historical practices surrounding libelous behavior and serves as a fascinating snapshot of life in the late 1700s. It reminds us of the power of words and images to shape perceptions and influence public opinion throughout history.
