Broadside
Scope and Contents
The collection contains a broadside with wood-engraved and letterpress elements, addressed in ms. on verso to Elijah Fuller, Esq. of Fayetteville, Georgia. The broadside illustrates Hotchkiss' water wheel, touting its features and performance, and reprints a dozen testimonial letters from Alabamans, including former Governor Benjamin Fitzpatrick. A variety of type sizes and styles are used, including a large display type for the heading. The appearance of the whole broadside is enhanced by an unusual geometric border.
