Rare Broadside BalladConnolly (James) One of the Connaught Rangers. Composed by James Connolly. Air: 'Patrick my Darling'. Broadside, Warren, D. n.d. [c. 1905?], three verses and chorus, within a border of shamrock. 'A story I will tell you about a soldier of the Queen .. He fought like a hero and shot many a brave Boer ..' Laid down on a folio sheet from a scrapbook, with three other broadside ballads. Sold as is, w.a.f. (1)James Connolly (executed in 1916) undoubtedly wrote ballads and marching songs, but we cannot confirm that this is one of his. Greaves' biography lists a number on p.130, but this is not among them. The verse is poor, even by ballad standards, and the political content, such as it is, does not suggest Connolly's work. If it is by Connolly, the last line, in which the hero is carried away 'with his leg lost in the fray', would be a poignant prophecy. It could of course be by another James Connolly.Provenance: From the collection of Mrs. Catherine Kennedy, 'Nu' the grand-daughter of Lady Gregory. Her father Robert, was the subject of W.B. Yeats's poem, "An Irish Airman Forsees His Death."

Positive Proof of Hyde's AuthorshipManuscript: Hyde (Dr. Douglas) 'An Craoibhín' A short ALs. to Lady Gregory, 4 pp (single folded sheet), in pencil, from Ratra, July 14 1918. 'I met Yeats in Dublin, & he gave me your kind message ... I came home at the end of June, but am not much better, I cannot fish or boat or bicycle, and when the grouse come in I fear I won't be able to shoot! .. I enclose a poem which may amuse you. I wrote it in a white heat when Lloyd George made his conscription speech.'The poem is the well-known 'Almost any O or MAC to Almost any Englishman, with Almost any Englishman's Answer', a most effective polemic, which we believe was not ascribed to Hyde when first published. It is here printed on one side of a folio sheet, inscribed in manuscript 'July 1918. An Craoibhín do scríobh agus é tinn ar a leabaidh' ['Douglas Hyde wrote this on his sick-bed']. Very rare, probably printed for Hyde.'On reading Christopher Benson's "Hymn for Empire Day". 'Lord of our fathers, for we too / As well as Benson, have our God, / Call off from us his callous crew / And break in two his ruthless rod / And numb we pray the unpitying hand / Which tortured us so many a year, / And make his nation understand / There is a God above to fear ..'With related stamped envelope, addressed in Hyde's hand to 'Lady Gregory, Teach na Cúlach, Gort, Co. Galway, inscribed in Lady Gregory's hand, '1918 (The War)'. (1)Provenance: From the collection of Mrs. Catherine Kennedy, 'Nu' the grand-daughter of Lady Gregory. Her father Robert, was the subject of W.B. Yeats's poem, "An Irish Airman Forsees His Death."

The Yeats BroadsheetsYeats (Jack B.) & Pamela Colman Smith A Broadsheet. Nos 1 -12, First Year complete, Jan. - Dec. 1902. Folio broadsheets, each 20" x 15" (51cms x 38cms), the drawings hand coloured by the artists, published and sold by Elkin Mathews, Vigo St., London. Edited by Jack Yeats, who also contributed about half the illustrations, including 'The Pooka!' 'The Back Strand Races, Sligo,' Shows at the Fair,' 'The Gipsy,' 'A Sligo Ballad Singer,' etc. This is the first appearance of the drawings of West of Ireland life which later became a familiar part of Jack Yeats' work, usually under the title 'Life in the West of Ireland'. Pamela Colman Smith was an Australian artist; some of her work here is remarkably similar to that of Yeats, and evidently she was influenced by him. She contributed to the first year only; the 'Broadsheets' continued for a second year, when Jack Yeats was joined by other members of his family. The literary contents of the 'Broadsheet' include poems by W.B. Yeats, 'A.E.', Jack Yeats himself, and others, some pseudonymous.No limitation is recorded, but it is unlikely that more than a few hundred copies of each Broadsheet were produced and coloured. Because of its large size, very few have survived in good condition, and sets are far scarcer than the later 'A Broadside' (a folded sheet less than half the size). Extremely Rare.The present set is slightly foxed in places, and most sheets are frayed at the lower corners without any loss of text or pictures. The colouring is fresh and the condition is generally very good.
