By Royal Authority! The Birmingham Races Will take place on Saturday next. July 13, 1844,
Printed under Authority by Thomas Vale, Freeman-street. [n.d.c. 1844].
Scarce letterpress, frame 400 x 275mm (15¾ x 10¾"). Framed. Unexamined outside of frame. Time stained and creased.
A satirical election report in the style of horse racing. In 1844, Joshua Scholefield (1775 – 1844), radical politician and one of the members of parliament for Birmingham, died. Consequently, a by-election was held. The "horses"; 'Mr. Churchman's old hack, 'Yellow Dick,' most likely refers to the Tory candidate Richard Spooner (1783 – 1864), a former radical, 'Mr. Corndealer's Hack Sturge-on aged,' most likely refers to Joseph Sturge (1793 – 1859) a Quaker, abolitionist and part of the Anti Corn Law League and 'Mr. Dissenter's horse Young Scoltefield,' most likely refers to William Scholefield (1809 – 1867) son of the deceased Joshua and a Liberal. Thomas James Vale had a long career as a printer at several different sites such as at 3 Freeman Street (1832-c.1844), and finally at 113 Moor Street (1850-55). During his time at Freeman Street he reprinted on broadsides extracts from newspapers on topical events such as French losses at the siege of Antwerp (1832), fire at the Palace of Westminster (1834), 'Dreadful Riots at Dudley' (1834) and a 'great discovery' (1836).
