Title
The Queen & Liberty!
Description
This broadside from 1837 is an excerpt of a letter from Lord Durham to electors in North Durham. It was printed at <i>The Aberdeen Herald</i> by G. Cornwall. The broadside declares that the electors must become involved in the Liberal parties, regardless of class, for the sake of the British Empire. On the subject of Victoria becoming Queen, it rallies the electorate to support the incumbent Liberal government to support the Queen. The reprint of a message from the radical reformist English earl to his electorate indicates the political disposition of the printers. Great care and craftsmanship had gone into printing the lines at the top of the broadside. These facts indicate that the electorate was considered to be in need of propaganda in order to convince them to continue supporting the Liberal government. At the time in Aberdeen, Alex Bannerman was the Member of Parliament for Aberdeen. He sat in the commons as a radical and would have been sympathetic to Durham's views.
