broadsides Explanation: In the centuries before there were newspapers and 24-hour news channels, the general public had to rely on street literature to find out what was going on. The most popular form of this for nearly 300 years was 'broadsides' - the tabloids of their day. Sometimes pinned up on walls in houses and ale-houses, these single sheets carried public notices, news, speeches and songs that could be read (or sung) aloud. The National Library of Scotland's online collection of nearly 1,800 broadsides lets you see for yourself what 'the word on the street' was in Scotland between 1650 and 1910. Crime, politics, romance, emigration, humour, tragedy, royalty and superstitions - all these and more are here. http://www.nls.uk/broadsides/index.html A broadside is a large sheet of paper, generally printed on one side and folded into a smaller size, often used as a direct-mail piece or for door-to-door distribution. Traditionally, printed works were printed on broadside sheets, then folded and cut to produce books of a smaller page size than the original sheet. Broadsides have been taken by many small presses and publishers as a fine art offshoot of their work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadside_(printing) Broadsides are scattered throughout the collections, with examples ranging from the sixteenth to twentieth centuries. Subjects covered are diverse and include accounts of executions, advertisements for trade ventures and calls for political agitation. Scottish interest is particularly well represented in the holdings, with the Murray collection providing many examples with Scottish imprints, and the Spencer collection including several broadsides related to the Darien scheme. A highlight of the broadside holdings is the major collection of broadside ballads gathered together by William Euing . This important resource consists of some 408 black-letter ballads, many of which are illustrated by woodcuts. http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/collection/broadside.html Münchener Bilderbogen German picture story broadsides http://www.lib.msu.edu/services/spec_coll/nye/comic/rri/mrri... Within Germany Children's and Household Tales was also published as popular poster‐sized Bilderbogen (broadsides). Single‐text editions, such as ‘Hänsel und Gretel’ appeared early, as did illegal pirated editions of the Small Edition. In addition, other tale collectors frequently incorporated the Grimms' tales into their own works. From the early 19th century, Children's and Household Tales attracted the interest of the world's principal illustrators of children's literature. http://www.answers.com/topic/kinder-und-hausm-rchen -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2009-05-30 15:43:28 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the points, E Tucker |

| Reference: illustrated broadsheet Reference information: I agree with Anne-Marie Grant: The illustrated broadsheet shows the present association chairman T. D. Pfeifer (figure 1) with its welcoming and the well-wishers District Administrator P. Dombrowsky (figure 2) and persons connected to the association...; Der Bilderbogen zeigt den derzeitigen Verbandsvorsitzenden Bürgermeister T.D. Pfeifer (Bild 1) bei seiner Begrüßung, wie auch den Gratulanten Landrat P. Dombrowsky (Bild 2) und mit dem Verband verbundene Personen... ; http://www.linguee.de/en-de/broadsheet.html KONRAD HEUMANN Mensch und Tier Zum Problem der Objektfindung bei Ganghofer und Hofmannsthal Mit einem Jagdbilderbogen von Max Arco-Zinneberg (Abstract) Graf Egge, der Protagonist in Ludwig Ganghofers Schloß Hubertus, und Andreas, die Titelfigur in Hugo von Hofmannsthals gleichnamigem Romanfragment, stehen in einer vergleichbaren Konstellation: Beide projizieren ihre vielfältigen triebhaften Wünsche, die sie in der Welt der sozialen Bezüge nicht ausleben können, auf die Welt der Tiere, die sie nach Gutdünken lieben, quälen oder töten, um so ihren Empfindungen Ausdruck zu geben. Darüber hinaus imaginieren sie sich selbst als Tiere. Schließlich bündeln beide Romane diese Konstellation in Schlüsselszenen, die auf dieselbe Quelle zurückgehen, nämlich einen Bilderbogen Max Arco-Zinnebergs, der eine Adlerjagd im Jahr 1860 beschreibt. Count Egge, the protagonist in Ludwig Ganghofer’s Schloß Hubertus, and Andreas, the eponymous character in Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s novel fragment, are of comparable dispositions: Unable to live out their manifold compulsive desires in a social context, they both project them onto animals, which they love, torture or kill as they please to act out their feelings. They both also imagine themselves to be animals. Finally, in both novels this constellation culminates in a crucial scene based on the same source - an illustrated broadsheet by Max Arco-Zinneberg depicting an eagle hunt in the year 1860; http://www.uni-konstanz.de/dvjs/heft_042005.htm |

| Reference: Broadsheet Reference information: This is a useful link and explains the tradition, too in various European countries: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Q5SAfnqQ93sC&pg=PA17&lpg=... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-05-29 21:05:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Though I have to say, depending on the context, I think I might leave it in German, since it is such a well-known term. Many of the sites on Google dealing with antiquarian print culture/books and museum sites seem to leave it in the GER. |
