Definition
A small printed advertisement or notice, usually distributed by hand to the public to promote an event, product, or service.
Etymology
Compound word from 'hand' and 'bill' (a printed document), describing a notice that is distributed from hand to hand rather than through official channels.
Kelly Says
Before the internet, handbills were the primary way to spread information—and you can see them in every period drama set in 19th-century cities, often shouting about lost dogs, theatrical performances, or goods for sale!
