Property from the Eric C. Caren CollectionANTI-SLAVERY HANDBILL[Anti-Slavery Bugle ⁠— Extra]. Salem, Ohio: James Barnaby, publishing agent, 26 November 1848 Printed handbill (7 7/8 x 5 5/8 in.; 198 x 144 mm), text in two columns below a title; very lightly browned. The consignor has independently obtained a letter of authenticity from PSA that will accompany the lot. An Abolitionist broadside. "The Executive Committee of the Western Anti-Slavery Society take this means of addressing you, personally, to solicit your co-operation in an effort to extend the circulations of the Anti-Slavery Bugle." The Anti-Slavery Bugle was a radical Garrisonite abolitionist newspaper, issued from 20 June 1845, to 4 May 1861. It was first published in New Lisbon (later renamed Lisbon), Ohio, but shortly after it was established, moved to Salem, Ohio. Salem⁠—and Columbiana County more broadly—had a long history of abolitionism, fostering an ideal environment for its predominately Quaker population to hear and adopt anti-slavery ideas. Salem was also an active Underground Railroad station. James Barnaby served as the publisher of the Bugle for almost the entirety of its run. Under his leadership, and supported by other leaders in the Western Anti-Slavery Society including Abby Kelley, the Bugle was able to achieve a broad circulation, and ultimately reached readers beyond Ohio. In its inaugural issue the paper declared: “Our mission is a great and glorious one. It is to preach deliverance to the captive, and the opening of the prison door to them that are bound; to hasten in the day when ‘liberty shall be proclaimed throughout all the land, unto all inhabitants thereof.’” The paper and the Western Anti-Slavery Society supported women’s rights and criticized churches that neglected the anti-slavery cause. The paper's motto was "No Union with Slaveholders".Condition ReportCondition as described in catalogue entry. The lot is sold in the condition it is in at the time of sale. The
