17" x 13-1/4" (43 x 33.5 cm) poster. An Apparently Unrecorded Poster Promoting a Concert to Benefit a Leftist British Magazine Focused on Legal Rights [Legal Publishing]. Up Against the Law Collective. A Benefit in Aid of Up Against the Law. [London: S.n., 1972?]. 17" x 13-1/4" (43 x 33.5 cm) poster, graphics in red on white paper. Small hole punched at top-edge, negligible light creasing and soiling. A well-preserved item. $450. * Up Against the Law (1972-1975) was a seminal British countercultural and leftist periodical dedicated to community legal education, civil liberties, and documenting police misconduct. Operating as an egalitarian collective, its contributors included prominent activists, legal campaigners, and members of radical defense organizations-most notably the Stoke Newington 8 Defence Group, which formed following the high-profile 1971 conspiracy trials of the British anarcho-communist group, The Angry Brigade. Published sporadically across nine issues, the magazine provided accessible "know your rights" guides on arrest procedures, squatting, drug busts, public demonstration, and immigration enforcement, serving as an essential toolkit for the era's liberation movements. The benefit event was hosted at the North Western Polytechnic (Kentish Town / Prince of Wales Road, London)-a notorious epicenter of 1970s student radicalism, union activism, and countercultural organizing. While the original periodical is moderately held (OCLC locates 13 institutional copies worldwide, with just 4 in North America: Library of Congress, Emory, Harvard, and the University of Michigan), ephemera and promotional posters for the collective are extraordinarily rare.

Speech of Mr. Alderman Cobden, At the Town Council, On Proposing a Resolution to Petition Both Houses of Parliament for the Total and Immediate Repeal of the Corn Law. (From the Manchester Times of Saturday, April 3, 1841). Manchester: Prentice and Cathrall, Printers, Times Office, Ducie Place, [1841]. 17-1/2" x 11" (44.4 x 28 cm) broadside, text in three columns below headline. Moderate toning, moderate edgewear, corner folds, horizontal and vertical fold lines, a few minor tears along folds, minor worming to lower half of left margin. Rare. $1,250. * This unrecorded broadside documents a pivotal moment in the British free-trade movement, capturing the celebrated reformer Richard Cobden addressing the Manchester Town Council in early 1841. Cobden, a prosperous Manchester calico printer turned political activist, was a co-founder of the Anti-Corn Law League (est. 1839). Here, speaking as a municipal Alderman, Cobden moves a resolution petitioning both Houses of Parliament for the immediate and total repeal of the repressive Corn Laws. First enacted by Parliament in 1815 to protect domestic agricultural yields following the Napoleonic Wars, the Corn Laws levied heavy import tariffs on foreign grain. By artificially driving up the price of bread-a basic necessity-the laws disproportionately burdened the working poor and urban laborers while enriching wealthy, landowning aristocrats. Cobden's speech forcefully argues against trade protectionism, framing the tariffs not merely as bad economic policy, but as an immoral tax on the destitute that stifled British industrial manufacturing and international diplomacy. Just four months after delivering this speech, Cobden was elected to the House of Commons as the Member of Parliament for Stockport. From inside Parliament, he alongside John Bright relentlessly lobbied Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel, ultimately succeeding in forcing the total repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846-a landmark victory that inaugurated a new era of British free trade. Printed at the Manchester Times office by Archibald Prentice and William Cathrall. Prentice was a radical journalist, co-founder of the Anti-Corn Law League, and author of its early history.
