Contemporary calf double fillet borders to boards rebacked to style with gilt decoration and black morocco label lettered in gilt. Edges and corners rubbed with a little wear to the latter. All edges speckled. Internally near fine. A very nice copy of the first book published by Ireland following his exposure as a forger. Rare in commerce only two copies appearing at auction in the last fifty years. William Henry Ireland was a type familiar in the world of letters and books - the clever but rackety fantasist. He absorbed from his father a publisher a fascination with Shakespeare and perhaps more significantly the forgers Chatterton and Macpherson. A spell working for a lawyer gave him access to old documents which he studied and copied before taking the plunge and forging a deed containing Shakespeare's signature. His father thinking it real was thrilled. Ireland began to produce more "Shakespearian" documents claiming that they were from an anonymous collector. When even a letter from Shakespeare to Elizabeth I was authenticated by contemporary experts Ireland overreached himself and brought forth a "new" play Vortigern and Rowena. Ireland's doubters led by the Shakespearean scholar Edmond Malone began to circle and the first and only performance of the play was disrupted in part by its leading actor John Philip Kemble who repeated a line including the words "solemn mockery". Although the young Ireland immediately confessed both he and his father were disgraced the latter dying in 1800 and William being forced to eke out a thin living as a poet historian and satirist. Ballads in Imitation of the Antient was a clever attempt at redemption. It was published in Ireland's name so no-one could accuse him of forgery or fakery but the book played into the contemporary taste for bogus antiquarianism which floated somewhere between historical truth and historically inspired fiction. And of course "Imitation" of which Ireland was clearly a master can be both. London: Printed for T.N.Longman and O.Rees 1801 hardcover

191526775New York 1915. Irish propaganda targeting the British during W.W.I. from the Irish World of January 30 1915. During W.W.I the struggle for Irish independence was suspended with the Nationalist forces splitting over support of the war. This handbill appears to be an effort to incite hatred of the British with racist descriptions of Fijian soldiers "the cannibals we may say" who fought for the British. There is a clear preference for Germany - "And these are the savages the cannibals we may say whom Britain is bringing over to fight the most enlightened nation of Melancthon and SchlegeL of Kant. of Mozart and Beethoven and Wagner of Goethe and Heine." <br /> <br /> The text characterized the Fijians as cannibals "dark copper colored have black eyes and bushy hair worn in the form of a mop" short stature protruding stomachs legs bowed and feet flat and usually nude. The photograph shows the Fijian soldiers standing at attention behind a British Officer photo by Paul Thompson. <br /> <br /> The text of the handbill is extracted from The Irish World and American Industrial Liberator published in New York between 1878-1951. Hand bill 9 x 7 3/4" printed in blue on cream paper verso blank. Creased with marginal tears and small margin loss. <br /> <br /> Unrecorded on OCLC although there is a W.W.I poster with the title "Civilization Vs. Barbarism" 1914 but associated with Red Cross Week. OCLC: 894257435. unknown
