About this Item
Unknown edition. Folio. [4] 3pp [5]. Stapled wrappers with a die-cut oval on the front wrapper revealing a black-and-white photograph of Miss Gertrude Elliott and Mr. Forbes Robertson with their facsimile signatures underneath. Gift inscription on the front wrapper dated 1902 (the same year this production premiered), wrappers detached but present and mostly separated along the spine, a dampstain to the bottom corner of a blank terminal page, and a tear at the bottom corner of the rear endpaper, very good. For voice and piano. Robert Burns initially published this song in 1794 and since then numerous composers have written their own music to accompany his words. This publication credits the poetry to Burns, but fails to specify a composer. However, it does specify that this version was "sung by Miss Gertrude Elliot in Madeleine Lucette Ryley's Play *Mice and Men* at the Lyric Theatre, London." We were unable to locate a copy of this edition in *OCLC*. A seemingly scarce and uniquely presented edition of this classic Scottish song. Seller Inventory # 578387
