Notes As a reflection of the WPHP's ethos of radical description, we have linked firms on this record as “printers,” given the imprint’s language and mechanics. However, it is unlikely that all listed firms were involved in printing this object, nor that readers in the period would have interpreted them that way. Rather, it is more likely that this imprint is deliberately obscuring or omitting the printer.
