According to his son's entry in the Oxford DNB, John Catnach 'was ahead of his time in publishing cheap attractively illustrated books, including children's books, but was a poor businessman. Working in Newcastle, he was imprisoned for debt, and in an attempt to mend his fortunes by moving to London with his family in 1808 he only sank deeper into poverty. In 1813 he died, broken in spirit, of an infected leg.' He was associated with Thomas Bewick, who was one of the creditors named at his first bankruptcy, and printed 'The Beauties of Natural History, selected from Buffon's History of Quadrupeds', 'Poems by Percival Stockdale' and 'Poetical Works of Robert Burns' all with Bewick woodcuts. BBTI has him trading in Berwick , 1790-1791; Alnwick, 1790-1808; Newcastle, 1808-1812; and London, 1812-1813. The Honourable Coast Committee of Northumberland was an organisation, founded on subscriptions, for the foundation and maintenance of a series of beacons along the Northumberland coast, as a defence against French invasion.

Single leaf broadside. With three engraved illustrations. Early central horizontal fold, some chipping to margins. An apparently unrecorded broadside devotional ballad on 'the true Christian's experience and prospects at the hour of death'. The publisher, Alnwick-born James Catnach (1792-1841), is primarily remembered for his prolific broadsheet printing endeavours. In order to satisfy the demands of the urban public for more grittily realistic reading matter than the, largely rural, popular ballad tradition afforded, Catnach commissioned a constant stream of sensational ephemera on the interests of the day. Many of his broadsheets were sold by 'patterers', who would perform as well as selling their wares, bridging the divide between the oral and printed ballad. Printed crudely on the cheapest paper available, the broadsheets were primarily sold at the price of one penny; Catnach was reputed to have paved his parlour with counterfeit coins.
