A celebratory broadside, in verse, for the 15th birthday of Princess Charlotte, held at the house of Colonel & Mrs. Macelod, of Colbecks, near Cheltenham. McLeod, who was made Colonel in 1799, raised the last fencible regiment in the Highlands, known as the Princess Charlotte of Wales or McLeod Loyal Fencilble Highlanders. This broadside, printed perhaps to give to guests after the event or to publicly celebrate the occasion in the local area, remarks on the finery of the occasion, laments the health of the King (in 1810 George III had suffered a relapse into mental disorder) and rejoices in the birthday of the young princess
Two columns of text; with the emblem and motto of the Prince of Wales at the top, three ostrich feathers encircled by a coronet, a ribbon below the coronet with motto "Ich dien."
