| Summary: | Broadside ballad sheet [replete with several spelling and printing errors] printed by Peter Brereton of Dublin, a ballad-sheet printer who flourished in the second half of the 19th century. During this time he occupied various addresses in Dublin city, among them 1 Lower Exchange St. and 55 and 56 Cooke St., Dublin. The first lines of this broadside ballad are: "The Moon was throwing her silver beams...". Printed at top of sheet is a crude woodcut of a man holding an infant aloft, while another small child holds on to his right leg; the man is making his way into a house and is met by a woman on the doorstep who cradles a baby in her arms. |
