Bawdy Songbooks of the Romantic Period, Volume 1
Regular price
€186.00
The songbooks of the 1830-40s were printed in tiny numbers, and small format so they could be hidden in a pocket, passed round or thrown away.
Collectors have sought ‘these priceless chapbooks’, but only recently a collection of 49 songbooks has come to light. This collection represents almost all of the known songbooks from the period.
Items Published by William West (1834–6), Edited by Ed Cray.
