About this Item

O FLAHERTY, Liam. Darkness: A tragedy in Three Acts. London: E Archer 1926. With a portrait frontispiece by William Roberts. One of a limited edition of 100 numbered copies signed by the author. This copy unnumbered but signed by O Flaherty. Also signed by Roberts in pencil beneath portrait frontispiece. Original printed marbled wrappers. Light foxing on edges, end papers and occasional pages, staples badly rusted and affecting surrounding area, otherwise a very good copy indeed. Note: William Roberts portrait of O Flaherty first appeared in New Coterie No. 3, summer 1926, and then as a frontispiece to this title. Darkness was first performed in Irish at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in March 1926. In order to establish performance copyright in the English version, O'Flaherty asked the publisher, Charles Lahr, to arrange for a reading of the play, and this reading took place at William Roberts' Chalk Farm studio on 27 April 1926. The original portrait is held by the National Library of Ireland. Important connection. Seller Inventory # ABE-1708109580156
