Light browning, some edgewear with minor loss to lower corners, clean tears at margins to horizontal fold line at middle of sheet. $350. * This broadside has two ballads with romantic subjects. Miss Lucy Long is a blackface dialect minstrel number. It begins: "Oh now I come afore you, To sing a littel song, I plays up on de banjo, And dey call it Lucy Long, So take your time Miss Lucy, Miss Lucy, Lucy, Lucy Long." Travelling Tinker, which has a touch of German dialect, appears to be addressed to a female cook. "Tinker Joe" declares his ability to fix anything and suggests that he, despite his low trade, would be a man worth marrying. "At my trade some folks turn up their nose. But their want of taste it clearly shows. Better be black, and earn lots of tin, Than a svellish without--and empty within." No copies listed on OCLC or Library Hub.
