Grand celebrashun,bobalition ob African slaver,1825
Title: Grand celebrashun ob de bobalition ob African slaver!!!
Date Created/Published: [Boston? : s.n.], 1825.
Summary: Another in the 'bobalition' series of broadsides parodying the manners, illiteracy, and dialect of Boston blacks. (See no. 1819-2.) This one is facetiously dated 'Uly 14, 1825, 6 month and little more beside,' suggesting it appeared in 1825 or 1826. It is illustrated with silhouette figures of black men, one (on the left) saying, 'Bosson, Uly 14, 1825 and little arter' and the second, 'That is de day ob de grand Celebrashun.' The text includes mock instructions for the procession, toasts, songs, etc., to mark the anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade. One toast is to 'General Jackson--Eber he get to be Presumdent ob d Nuited States, he won't hang de rascal slow.'
