shelfmark: L.C.2846(55)

Black Bird, 1790 (p1)

The title page to this small chapbook lists the 8 ballads printed therein along with a decorative woodcut.

Black Bird, 1790 (p8)

A line of printer's flowers is used to separate the end of one ballad from the start of the next in this 8-page chapbook; because this is the last page, the phrase finis is placed at the end.
