Additional Details

A proclamation ordering festivities upon the resumption of the 1812 constitution--music, bells, artillery salvos, and more. Printed by Bangs during his unusual tenure as the imprisoned printer for the Royalist army (see above). These early Bangs imprints were printed under extremely difficult conditions, on a small press with a limited supply of type. In this broadside, we see one of the hallmarks of these Monterrey Bangs imprints--the frequent use of isolated italics within words. He simply did not have enough roman type to put together a whole page of text. Jenkins, Printer in Three Republics 20, and page 10.
