Item description from seller

9pp extract, printed in double columns, illustrated with 10 drawings, including several after photographs by W. G. Moore, salvaged from a damaged issue of The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, Volume XXXIX, No. 6, April, 1890. From the opening paragraph, "Friend and foe of the Irish agree to allow them preeminence in two matters -- poetry and music. Welsh history states that music came to Wales from Ireland, and nowhere do we find records of a poetic guild so abundant and minute as in the literature of Ireland gradually being brought to the notice of the world A sketch of this caste is all that can be given at present." Illustrations include a bagpiper, Moore's Harp, now at the Dublin Museum, bronze crotals in the Royal Irish Academy, the sea-cave near Giant's Causeway, north of Ireland, the approach to Glengariff, at Bantry Bay, Kerry, a view of the Giant's Causeway, the Witch's Staircase, at Blarney Castle, Cork, etc. Housed in protective mylar report cover.
