16mo. (viii), 34, (3)pp. The title page bears the first instance of Elizabeth Corbet Yeats' pressmark, "Lone Tree in Landscape." Yeats' Cuala Press (the successor to her Dun Emer Press) was a flashpoint of Celtic Revivalism, here evidenced by Flowers' recuperation of Irish poets of the Early Modern period, the use of Irish paper, and the dedication to Tomás Ó Rathile (his Irish name; in English, Thomas Francis O'Rahilly), who had controversially proposed a historical model of Irish history that suggested, among other points, the existence of two St. Patricks. Bound blue paper over boards backed in linen. Mild overall toning, minor bumps, two hinges tender and with adhesive shine-through. Very good.
