Summary: | Ballad sheet [replete with spelling mistakes and several 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. Song to be sung to the air of "Bundle and go". The first lines of this ballad are: "You Sons of the Shamrock atend [sic, attend] to my ditty...". Printed at top of sheet [upsidedown] is a crude woodcut - it is a part of the Royal Arms [the official coat of arms of the British monarch]. In this instance, only one of the supporters present in the crest, the lion, is printed, [the unicorn is lacking] while a partial motto "Dieu et" is printed [the rest, "mon droit", is lacking]. |
