Title
"We Did It!" Witnesses' Glee
Description
This broadside pokes fun at a Parliamentary decision made over Aberdeen's railways. Parodying William Shakespeare's Macbeth, it presents a scene taking place in the lobby of the House of Commons following a recent "Railway Case". The broadside is undated and the personae dramatis are identified only as "J", "B" and "O". The lack of detail makes it difficult to establish the exact case to which this relates. If you can clarify this matter, please get in touch using the comment button located below the image. The broadside concludes with an echo from "the Electors of Aberdeen." This suggests a connection to electoral politics, but details beyond this are unclear.
