190136826Early 1900's. 1901. 1901. Good. - A 13 inch high by 8-1/8 inch wide broadside printed in black on pink paper proclaiming "Prof. Bunn Elocutionist Mesmerist Ventriloquist Illusionist and Entertainer. Children's Parties a Specialty". The broadside's proclamation is much the same as that by which the character of Professor Bunn identifies himself in Arthur Sullivan's comic opera "The Emerald Isle". The broadside is folded horizontally and vertically with creases and a couple of short tears to the edges. Good. <p>With a libretto by Basil Hood the two-act comic opera "The Emerald Isle" was composed by Arthur Sullivan shortly before his death. Though he had only finished two musical numbers he had left substantial notes and sketches for the voice part for much of the musical. The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company commissioned Edward German to complete the work which had its premiere at the Savoy Theatre on April 27 1901. The musical follows the efforts of Irish patriots who resist the "re-education" program imposed on them by the British. Professor Bunn a "Professor of Elocution" who was hired by the British switches sides and supports the Irish patriots and their resistance movement. Needless to say the story contains comic romance and tales of Irish fairy folklore. Early 1900's. [1901]. unknown

19309953New York: Printed by the Harbor Press for the Derrydale Press 1930. Unbound. Very Good binding. Small octavo. 32 pp. illus. 2 of 3 uncut unbound sheets which include 4 of the color illustrations after Cruikshank used in the original 1829 edition the title page and the information on the illustrations. We have collated this against a digital version and confirmed that there was one more section that would have completed the book. The final sheet also included the colophon and note the Harbor Press was the printer and Fass the typographer. The edition was 490 copies. These sheets were mailed to Mrs. Thomas Elizabeth Post Morrow in Brooklyn NY in a small envelope with the printed return-address on reverse of The Colophon A Book Collectors' Quarterly NY—postmarked in 1933. Fass too had a robust relationship with the Colophon at this time printing several pieces for the periodical in 1929 and 1930. We are unaware if there was any relationship between Fass and Morrow. <br /> <br /> The obituary of Elisabeth Post Morrow 1896-1992 was published in the Brookhaven Free Library Newsletter. Mrs. Morrow "was a quiet philanthropist and generous supporter of her community . . . a charter member of her literary club historical society as well as a Trustee of the Packer Institute in Brooklyn. She had many other interests including music especially opera books and printing birds and local natural areas. Before braille was done by machine Elisabeth copied books in braille for the blind. . ." Dorothy Jones and Faith McCutcheon. She maintained a lifelong and wide correspondence concerning her typographic and ephemeral collecting interests. <br /> <br /> This is an interesting piece of an ephemera from one of the notable early 20th century fine printers and significant philanthropist and collector here seemingly connected by the most important bibliophilic periodical of the era.
