Signed limited first edition, one of 100 copies, of this collection of musical broadsides celebrating the history of the Anglo-Irish ballad: "In town and country alike, as in the old English carols, every song is a narrative." Issued monthly throughout 1935, the broadsides feature new verses by contemporary Irish poets, paired w…ith traditional ballads set to music by Arthur Duff. Featured poets include W.B. Yeats, F.R. Higgins, and Padraic Colum. The hand-colored illustrations, which recall the simple woodcuts that decorated the "slip songs" of earlier centuries, are the work of Jack B. Yeats and other contemporary Irish artists. In forging connections between "old and new songs," between folk tradition and modern art, these broadsides exemplify the Celtic Revival ambitions of Elizabeth Yeats's Cuala Press, and represent a continuation of her first series of 84 broadsides, issued between 1908 and 1915. Three hundred copies of each broadside were printed, and one hundred were bound and signed by W.B. Yeats and F.R. Higgins. Wade 249. A near-fine copy of a beautiful book, a landmark of the Irish literary revival. Single volume, measuring 11.5 x 8.25 inches: [56]. Original linen-backed blue paper boards, printed pastedown title label to upper board, blue endpapers. Foreword signed by W.B. Yeats and F.R. Higgins; engraved musical staves and twenty-four hand-colored line block illustrations throughout text. Pencil inscription to front blank: "Iona Craig gave me this book in 1936." Spine ends and edges lightly rubbed, crease to front free endpaper. Signed.

Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. SIGNED LIMITED FIRST EDITION. SIGNED LIMITED FIRST EDITION OF W.B. YEATS'S BROADSIDES, ONE OF ONLY 100 COPIES SIGNED BY W.B. YEATS AND F.R. HIGGINS AT END OF INTRODUCTORY ESSAY AND ACCOMPANIED BY BREATHTAKING HAND-COLORED ILLUSTRATIONS. Collection of 12 broadsides originally… issued individually from January-December 1935. Containing both traditional and new Irish ballads written by Yeats, F.R. Higgins, Padraic Colum, and others. With engraved music throughout. Numerous evocative and emotional hand-colored woodblock illustrations, including many by Jack B. Yeats, brother of the famed W.B Yeats. Only 300 copies printed, with only 100 copies bound and signed, making this production EXTREMELY RARE. Signed by Yeats and Higgins at the end of their preface, Anglo-Irish Ballads. "Yeats is now seen as one of a handful of Irish writers whose influence and example helped create twentieth-century modernist literature in the English language.his huge international reputation is securely based on the mystery and grandeur of his late verse and the poignancy of his love poetry, but he first came to fame as the exotically Celtic poet of a 'new' nationalist Ireland: almost single-handed, he made Irishness culturally fashionable. Spearheading a great cultural renaissance, he moved into his maturity as the voice of his country" (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography) . It was not merely Yeats, however, who is responsible for arousing Irish patriotism. The Cuala Press, a small press started by Yeat's sister Elizabeth, is regarded as one of the first publishing houses to bring attention to Irish literature, art and music. Her production of Broadsidesis no different. "The glory that once was Ireland and could again be Ireland was the fire that burned unquenched in the mind and will of Elizabeth Corbett Yeats" (Colby Library Quarterly) . Dublin: Cuala Press, 1935. Small folio, original cloth backed boards with paper label to upper cover. Complete with what is almost certainly the original plain unlettered dust jacket (we can find no other examples of the jacket, but this is comparable to other jackets for Cuala Press books). Book remarkably bright and clean with only a couple of tiny spots to cloth. A few chips to dust jacket. Housed in vibrant red custom box. An VERY RARE AND NEARLY PERFECT COPY of a book of large cultural importance with dazzlingly fresh illustrations. ILLUSTRATIONS BY: YEATS, JACK B; BROWN, VICTOR; O'SULLIVAN, SEAN; PEET, E.C; KERNOFF, HARRY; MCGONIGAL, MAURICE MUSIC BY DUFF, ARTHUR (illustratore).
