Bifolium, 225 x 180 mm. William Gaspey [1812 - 88] was a poet and author who wrote the text to Tallis’s Illustrated London, 1851. The petition is an appeal to his employer for a half day holiday on a Friday: “I covet not the day entire, One half to dissipate my gloom, Would thanks and gratitude inspire Then please to grant that valued boon, The blest relief of half a day Grant me the Friday afternoon.”
