Begun by Una and Robinson at their home in 1922, prior to the Jeffers family visit to Ireland in 1929, this collection demonstrates not only Robinson's little-known talent for illustration, but also Una's love for all things Irish - her own Ward Ritchie Press work, "Visits to Ireland," was published in 1954. Clearly this work served as the inspiration for Robinson's book of verse, "Descent to the Dead: Poems Written in Ireland and Britain" (1931). Prospectus laid in. Designed by Ward Ritchie. Full cream linen binding, with a printed paper spine label. A fine copy in the original plain paper dust jacket.
