Published within A Broadside for December 1912 (number seven of the fifth year of publication). Jack B. Yeats provided four drawings to the December 1912 issue of A Broadside of which "Tumblers at the Circus" is the important full-page illustration. This is one of the artist's trademark circus scenes. From boyhood to old age, Yeats was captivated by circuses; they feature in his earliest diaries and sketchbooks and were depicted in some of his final oil paintings. In his essay, "Jack B. Yeats: Promise and Regret", Brian O'Doherty identified the artist's "repertory companies of character and themes" to consist of "tinkers, gypsies, sailors, circus performers, actors, travellers, tramps, jockeys, gamblers". A Broadside was published between June 1908 and May 1915 by the two Yeats sisters. There were 84 issues in total. As described by Hilary Pyle, "Yeats's practice was to published one or two ballads or poems with two small line block illustrations by himself, and fill in the third page with a single illustration, often a drawing dating from years before". Yeats exhibited this drawing on three occasions: 21 May - 29 June 1913, Whitechapel Art Gallery, London, "Summer Exhibition of Irish Art" (group exhibition); October 1913, Black and White Artists's Society of Ireland, Dublin (group exhibition); and 31 May - 21 June 1919, Little Art Rooms, London, "Drawings and Pictures of Life in the West of Ireland" (solo exhibition). After the artist's death, the drawing has been exhibited three times: November - 12 December 1962, Dawson Gallery, Dublin, "Watercolours and Pen and Ink Drawings" (solo exhibition); Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Derry, "North West Arts Festival" (solo exhibition); and May 1964, Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Belfast, "May Festival" (solo exhibition). Hilary Pyle records the drawing as item number 1907 in her catalogue of Yeats's cartoons and illustrations. She notes a previous owner as the American collector Martin Haley-Ryan.

SIGNED LIMITED FIRST EDITION. SIGNED LIMITED FIRST EDITION OF W.B. YEATS'S BROADSIDES, ONE OF ONLY 100 COPIES SIGNED BY W.B. YEATS AND F.R. HIGGINS AT END OF INTRODUCTORY ESSAY AND ACCOMPANIED BY BREATHTAKING HAND-COLORED ILLUSTRATIONS. Collection of 12 broadsides originally issued individually from January-December 1935. Containing both traditional and new Irish ballads written by Yeats, F.R. Higgins, Padraic Colum, and others. With engraved music throughout. Numerous evocative and emotional hand-colored woodblock illustrations, including many by Jack B. Yeats, brother of the famed W.B Yeats. Only 300 copies printed, with only 100 copies bound and signed, making this production EXTREMELY RARE. Signed by Yeats and Higgins at the end of their preface, Anglo-Irish Ballads. "Yeats is now seen as one of a handful of Irish writers whose influence and example helped create twentieth-century modernist literature in the English language.his huge international reputation is securely based on the mystery and grandeur of his late verse and the poignancy of his love poetry, but he first came to fame as the exotically Celtic poet of a 'new' nationalist Ireland: almost single-handed, he made Irishness culturally fashionable. Spearheading a great cultural renaissance, he moved into his maturity as the voice of his country" (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography) . It was not merely Yeats, however, who is responsible for arousing Irish patriotism. The Cuala Press, a small press started by Yeat's sister Elizabeth, is regarded as one of the first publishing houses to bring attention to Irish literature, art and music. Her production of Broadsidesis no different. "The glory that once was Ireland and could again be Ireland was the fire that burned unquenched in the mind and will of Elizabeth Corbett Yeats" (Colby Library Quarterly) . Dublin: Cuala Press, 1935. Small folio, original cloth backed boards with paper label to upper cover. Complete with what is almost certainly the original plain unlettered dust jacket (we can find no other examples of the jacket, but this is comparable to other jackets for Cuala Press books). Book remarkably bright and clean with only a couple of tiny spots to cloth. A few chips to dust jacket. Housed in vibrant red custom box. An VERY RARE AND NEARLY PERFECT COPY of a book of large cultural importance with dazzlingly fresh illustrations.
