Fisherman’s tackle and runaway soldier ad in old London notice
A miscellaneous broadside lists sales of fishing rods and tackle, a bounty for a missing private from Lieutenant Colonel Harry Pultney’s Grenadiers, and notices of forthcoming plays and novels. It advertises tobacco use, tea, coffee, and various books, with prices and publisher details, in a late 17th or early 18th century London context.
