The circular details Proler's alleged crime of forgery and physical description, noting he was 'supposed to be a Dutch Jew, born in Amsterdam'. It also mentions his escape aboard the British brig Eliza Liddell to Rotterdam and potential landing in the British Channel. The broadside is in good condition with minor foxing.

Broadside wanted poster issued by the Boston Police Department on September 20, 1883, for the forger C.F. Dewey, also known as O.R. Halpert.

Halpert was wanted in Massachusetts and Indiana, and was subsequently arrested in San Francisco, California on October 11, 1883.
