CHRIST IN DEVON

[BROADSIDE BALLADS]. [Drop-head title:] The ancient ship, the noah's ark. Our saviour the captain.

Devonport. Printed by S. & J. Keys, [s.d., 1870s?]
Dimensions 190 x 250 mm. Single leaf broadside. Printed in two columns. With two woodcut vignettes. A trifle creased, two old horizontal folds, short tear to right-hand margin.
An apparently unrecorded, provincially published, broadside comprised of two devotional ballads; the first an encomium to the salvation afforded by Noah's Ark, the second, 'Joseph, a Type of Christ', a song of praise casting Joseph, son of Jacob, as a paradigm of the Messiah.

Devon-based printers and stationers Samuel and John Keys were in operation between 1873 and 1893, having inherited the business from their father Elias Keys with whom they had been partners since 1870.
