Grand bobalition, or "Great anniversary fussible"
Summary
Another in the "bobalition" series of broadsides parodying the manners, illiteracy, and dialect of Boston blacks. (See no. 1819-2.) The illustration shows a black militia troop marching from left to right. The text, facetiously dated "Bosson, Uly 14, 18021" consists of a letter of instruction from "Cesar Crappo" to "Cato Cudjoe, Sheef Marshal" for the ceremonies marking the anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade. It also includes various toasts and songs for the occasion.
