Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. PINDAR Junior, Peter: Miles's Boy. [Oxford, 1841.] Single-sheet broadside, 215 × 145 mm, printed on one side only. Creased from old folds with some edge wear and light surface soiling; overall good. A satirical political broadside concerning an Oxford municipal election, printed with th…e attribution 'Oxford Chronicle, Feb. 20, 1841' and signed in type 'P. Pindar, Junr.' The poem, written in a mock-popular voice, celebrates the defeat of 'poor Peter' and mocks him as 'Miles's boy,' suggesting factional politics within Oxford Council alluding to 'Radicals,' 'College chaps,' and the governance of the City. The signature 'P. Pindar, Junr.' represents a satirical pseudonym adopted by more than one nineteenth-century writer, including the Oxford engraver and satirist John Agg (1784-1855) and the London man of letters George Daniel (1789-1864).
