One of 130 Copies Only
Yeats (Jack B.) A Lament for Art O’Leary. Translated from the Irish by Frank O’Connor, with six [hand-coloured] illustrations by Jack B. Yeats RHA. No. 90 of the edition limited to 130 copies. Cuala 1940. The illustrations coloured by Eileen Colum and Kathleen Banfield. Folio blue boards, linen spine with title label, a very good copy with all tissue guards in place. Very scarce.
Probably the finest of Cuala’s titles. Jack Yeats had done no new work for the Press for many years; he must have been seduced by the opportunity to illustrate Eileen O’Connell’s fine poem in memory of her murdered husband.
