Folger-specific note
From dealer's description: "Two broadsides, measuring 9x11 and 10x11 inches, respectively, backed, light browning, the Taussig copies; three copies in ESTC in North America. An uncommon and early example of state-inspired famine relief, said to have raised some 90,000 pounds sterling in England alone and an even greater sum in Europe, highly ameliorating the condition of those Protestants persecuted by the Duke of Savoy."
