Eugène Henri Brisson (1835-1912) was a French statesman, Prime Minister of France for a period in 1885 until 1886 and again in 1898.

A broadside presenting Tories attempting to overturn the 1837 Bristol election results as MacBeth's Three Witches around a cauldron, with papers marked 'Perjury', 'Lies', 'Slander' and 'More Perjury' When Liberal Francis Henry FitzHardinge Berkeley (1794-1870) was elected MP for Bristol, three petitioners (Bush Cookson & Payne, on behalf of the defeated Tory candidate William Fripp) accused him of extensive bribery and treating, as well as corruption, using his role as a trustee of the Anchor Society to obtain votes. A committee of the House of Commons was appointed to hear the case assembled in February, 1838, but after three days the petition was abandoned. Individual actions were brought against three other trustees and were all acquitted. In bringing the charges a woman was found guilty of perjury and the editor of the Bristol Journal was sued for libel and lost. Berkeley held his seat until his death in 1870.

Engraving, 440 x 290mm (17¼ x 11½"). Hole in bottom right, outside printed area.
Image commemorating a procession in 1848 advocating the restoration of a free port to Bristol. 'Colston' refers to Edward Colston (1636-1721), a wealthy merchant whose philanthropy earned him great respect in Bristol, where he was commemorated with statues, a concert hall and street names. However he kept secret his role as a highly placed officer in the Royal African Company (which held the monopoly on trade with Africa for gold, ivory, spices and slaves from 1672 to 1698) so successfully that early biographies do not mention it. In 2020 his links to the slave trade were the focus of the 'Black Lives Matter' protests in Bristol, during which his statue was pulled down and dumped in Bristol Harbour.

[Bristol electoral politics; five handbills relating to Henry Hunt (1773-1835).]
[All Bristol: H. Bonner (2), J.M. Gutch (2) & P. Rose. n.d., c.1810.]
Five letterpress broadside handbills printed on coarse rag papers (incl. two watermarked laid sheets). Four approx. 200 x 150mm, 8 x 6", one 230 x 180mm, 9 x 7"; (5). Some a little creased. Tatty extremities, as normal; minor spotting and soiling.
These rare survivors of cheap popular printing, handed out as flyers on Bristol's streets, attack Henry Hunt and his politics. A radical politician and demagogue, Hunt was born in Upavon, Wiltshire and became a supporter of Francis Burdett during the Napoleonic Wars. His talent for public speaking came to notice in the electoral politics of Bristol, where he denounced the complacency of both the Whigs and the Tories. His reputation as a great public speaker earned him the name 'Orator Hunt'. The authors or sponsors of these broadsides are anonymous (in one case a pseudonym, 'Captain Jee', is used), and they employ satirical verse or thinly-veiled metaphors to attack their opponent. Some are embellished with very basic decorative vignettes, to complement the letterpress. Hunt was imprisoned after the Peterloo massacre, 1819, when the cavalry was used to disband a peaceful demonstration resulting in eleven dead and hundreds injured. He was popularly regarded as a martyr of reform and took pride of place in the Chartist pantheon.

The riots continued for three days during which the palace of Robert Gray the Bishop of Bristol, the Mansion House, and private homes and property were looted and destroyed, along with the demolition of much of the gaol and toll houses. Work on the Clifton Suspension Bridge was halted and Isambard Kingdom Brunel was sworn in as a special constable.
