Dublin: Printed at the University Press, James McGlashan, 1853. First printing. Hardcover. First edition, 1853. Small quarto, gilt decorated green cloth, unpaginated but ca. 50 pp, with tinted lithograph frontispiece and 13 lithographed plates, text of the play. Very good, with notice from Kerr & Co. tipped to front endpaper about the quality of their productions on exhibit at the Great Industrial Exhibition of Ireland. Essentially a trade catalogue of the material offered by the Royal Porcelain Works, Worcester, Kerr & Co., etc. The Great Industrial Exhibition was Ireland's answer to the Crystal Palace 1851 Exhibition in which many Irish firms were ostracized. A very good copy with light stains to binding, occasional faint evidence of damp stains to margins to contents, but truly handsome and rare book. Very Good. Item #ML897
