Stick ’em on your fridge or post ’em to a friend. These Chartist Ancestors postcards show original documents and objects from the 1830s and 1840s. You can buy yours now.
Each pack costs £5 plus £1.50 in postage, package and PayPal fees. Every penny of the £5 headline price helps to fund the annual Chartism Day event.
I also have a number of second-hand Chartist books for sale below. I am not a book dealer – these are simply books I’ve accidentally managed to buy two copies of at various times.
NB. Due to high postage costs I can only accept orders from the UK. For international orders please email me.
