Mining.- Unemployed Welsh Miner. Y Ffasiwn Newydd, rare satirical

Mining.- Unemployed Welsh Miner. Y Ffasiwn Newydd, ballad sheet, printed on buff paper, folds, lightly spotted and creased, but generally in a good state of preservation, 208 x 126mm., [?South Wales], no printer, [?c.1920]. *** Rare. WorldCat and Library Hub record only one copy of a ballad sheet with this title and same opening line at the NLW, which they date to the 19th century. A bitingly satirical piece that considers unemployment and economic hardship to be the 'new fashion' or norm in the mining communities of the South Wales Valleys.
