YEATS, Jack Butler (1871-1957)
A Broadside [The Complete Set of 84 issues]. Dundrum, County Dublin: Dun Emer Press [issue no. 1 only] and Cuala Press [the remainder], 1908-1915.
The complete run of 84 broadsides finely illustrated and hand-coloured by Jack B. Yeats, each limited to 300 copies. In June 1908, Yeats released the first issue of A Broadside with the Dun Emer Press (later the Cuala Press), the private press founded by his brother William and sister Elizabeth. It was published monthly for seven consecutive years up until May 1915. The format for each issue was consistent throughout the seven years of publication, with one sheet folded to create four pages. The poems and ballads collected or written by Jack Yeats, set in an elegant 18th century type, were in most cases interspersed by two small line block illustrations over the first two pages, with the third page filled with a single illustration. Hilary Pyle comments that for Yeats the hand colouring was as important as the image itself, taking the greatest care in its application, and reserving the best examples for important subscribers.
'The Yeats of the period 1890-1914 is not so much Irish as Ireland itself. Up to the time of the First World War, Ireland was a country full of characters and institutions…It was a country prolific in tinkers, circuses, horse-fairs, villages and small towns which came alive at the temporary invasions of various itinerant groups, gypsies, horse-traders and the like. It was a romantic Ireland which appealed to Yeats and which he recorded faithfully’ (T.G. Rosenthal, On Art and Artists, London, p. 166).
3 portfolios containing a total of 84 broadsides (each 278 x 189mm). Over 200 line block prints, many with extensive hand colouring (June and July 1912 issues with small marginal tears, a few minor marginal spots). Loose as issued in original blue linen-covered folders, hand-coloured printed labels of a pirate playing a mandolin on upper covers, silk ties (spines faded, some spots, tear into card wrapper in second portfolio). Provenance: S. A. Stallebrass, 1950s.
