"There is a time to build, and a time to burn."-- Northern Engine. "Tain Building Association."
[Balnagown? : s.n.,
1868?]
A satirical poster issued during the 1868 Northern (or Wick) Burghs election campaign. Much of the humour is now impenetrable, but it is clearly directed against the sitting M.P. Samuel Laing, then at the end of his third and last tenure. The text is dated from 'Aalnagown Barms' i.e. the Balnagown Arms Hotel.
Laing, S. (Samuel), 1812-1897.
