The broadside was produced after Orton was exposed as a fraud by lacking the tattoo that the real Sir Roger was known to have. It consists of a list of sixteen statements ('claims') whereby Orton seeks to set his story straight, refuting all the substantive points of evidence against him and indeed his own story. The composer of the work has obviously had great fun with misspelling as did the illustrator of the small portrait of Orton eyeing his purse"--Bookseller's description.10aOrton, Arthur,d1834-1898vHumor.10aTichborne, Roger CharlescSir,d1829-1854?vHumor. 0aBroadsideszEnglandy19th centuryvSpecimens. 0aEnglish wit and humory19th century. 0aImpostors and imposturezEngland. 0aImpostors and imposturezNew South WaleszWagga Wagga.1 aSue, Eugène,d1804-1857.
