"Atrocious piracy - calamitous shipwreck - unparalleled suffering - total loss by fire - horrid murder - massacre" - such were the headings for broadsides, sheets of paper (printed on one side only) that were once hawked round Australia's streets by chapmen, ballad-singers, or patterers as a means of distributing news. Geoffrey Ingleton's fascinating collection of broadsides from the period between 1785 and 1855 includes tales of their adventures written by marooned seamen, accounts of murders and executions, verses, descriptions of remarkable events, proclamations, and government notices.
