1811 British State Lottery Rebus Broadside – Printed for T. Bish
A wonderfully whimsical and rare rebus-style lottery advertising broadside, issued by the famed London lottery agent T. Bish, active during the early 19th century and well known for his imaginative promotional prints. This piece invites readers through a clever combination of images and text to “try for the crowns of the world,” promising fortune to those who participate in the upcoming lottery drawing on the 30th of this month (October).
Printed on laid paper with beautiful early 19th-century typography, this advertisement retains impressive sharpness in the illustrations. A small area of staining near the lower edge adds authentic antique character without compromising readability.
Ephemera from the British State Lottery (abolished in 1826) has become increasingly scarce, and rebus broadsides such as this are particularly sought after for their charm, rarity, and cultural insight into Georgian-Regency marketing practices.
