Analysis of a Broadside or Leaflet
Broadsides are large sheets of paper with text printed on one side only, so that they can be tacked to buildings, trees, or light poles, or handed out on the street. Leaflets (also called brochures, circulars, flyers, or pamphlets) may be folded and were also intended for free distribution. Both have traditionally been used to advertise a product, promote a political or religious point of view, or announce a gathering. They are quickly and cheaply printed in large numbers in order to be widely distributed. Both types of items can provide valuable information about the past. Prepare a written report on your assigned item by answering these questions about it.
