| Summary: | Ballad sheet [replete with spelling mistakes and several printing errors], similar in style to those 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 ballad are: "You Sons and fair daughters of Erin's green Isle...". Printed at top of sheet is a crude woodcut [unrelated to the subject matter of the song], of a man holding up a sheaf of corn in his right hand, while another sheaf is in his left hand, down by his side. He stands beside a donkey, on whose back numerous sheaves of corn are arranged together, in order to transport elsewhere. |
