Bawdy Songbooks of the Romantic Period, Volume 3
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 M. Metford (1833–40) and G. K. Edwards (1835–6), Edited by David Gregory.
