Caption title.
An apparently unrecorded early nineteenth-century slip song printing of a popular ballad about the imprisonment of Mary, Queen of Scots, at Lochleven Castle following her forced abdication.
The publisher John Pitts (1765-1844) of Seven Dials, London, was responsible for a prodigious output of cheap, popular printing in the first half of the nineteenth-century. Single song sheets such as the one present were available from as little as one half-penny.
