EDITORS COMMENTS
Stolen in the night of Monday 12 Apr 1813, from the premises of David Champion at Portobello, a quantity of child's clothes, an old plated tankard without lid, and a clothes rope. This print captures a historical broadsheet advertisement seeking justice for a daring theft that occurred over two centuries ago. The image showcases the original document held at Sheffield Local Studies Library: MP 103 M. The intricate details of this aged broadsheet reveal the desperate plea made by Mr. Champion to recover his stolen belongings. In an effort to bring the culprits to justice, both the Committee of the Association for Prosecution of Felons and Receivers of Stolen Goods and Mr. Champion himself offered generous rewards totaling three guineas. Printed by J. Montgomery in Sheffield, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to not only past crimes but also highlights how communities rallied together against such acts during that era. This print provides us with a glimpse into history – reminding us that even back then, individuals faced challenges like theft and sought help through community associations dedicated to combating crime. A true treasure from Sheffield City Archives, this visual artifact invites us on a journey through time while shedding light on one man's determination to reclaim what was rightfully his.
