The History of the Catnach Press

Based on Pierce Egan's story and W.T. Moncrieff's verses, James Catnach adapted this single 1886 issue for the publisher's own history. George and Isaac Cruikshank provided the layouts for this Hindley release, which documents the legacy of the famous Catnach Press. It stands as a unique artifact of 19th-century print culture, preserving the work of one of London's most influential broadside publishers.
