Original black cloth backed lime green boards, paper label to upper cover with a fleuron border; pp. xx ; 5 full page illustrations and 4 vignettes printed in black, white and yellow. Some light spotting to the prelims and pastedowns. Slight toning to the page edges due to the quality of the paper stock used. The paper printed label is complete and clean. Free from inscriptions and erasures. The book is protected in a removable Mylar archival cover. A rare early work including dramatic illustrations from Harry Clarke. It was one of two promotional booklets issued by Irish whiskey distillers John Jameson, with the first title being 'Irish Whiskey, a history of the great house' published a year before.' Clarke said in a letter to a friend about these promotional books 'here is one of the books I did for Jameson - it was made in Dublin and if you ever had any experience of Dublin Printers you will know it was only produced with great difficulty' '(A7 Steenson). Despite his pains, the illustrations in this book are of high quality, for example of a doctor prescribing her patient Irish whiskey for a longer life and an illustration, called 'Two distilleries on the same hill' that illustrates how two distillers using the same location, equipment and water supply, could produce wildly different spirits. An extremely scarce book with less than a handful of copies having appeared at auction and JSIC listing only 3 copies held in institutions. The nicest copy we have handled to date.

First UK trade edition (Steenson A3b) with the wrapper matching the description for second state (Steenson A3c), with no 'Harrap' logo to the foot of the spine. Some of the included illustrations had already appeared in other publications, including the 'To the Coming of the Spring' (p. 103), which was used as the cover image for 'The Treasury of Verse' by M. G. Edgar and E. Chilman, also published by Harrap. The black and white plate for 'A Ballad of the Captains' (p.47) was also used as a frontis in the Harrap Library edition of 'The Lure of the Sea'. A wonderful collection of verses from poets of the day, which include among them contributions from Hilaire Belloc, Rupert Brooke, G. K. Chesterton, Walter de la Mare, Alice Meynell and Thomas Hardy, wonderfully accompanied by a series of charismatic plates by the illustrator Harry Clarke. The compilation represented one of his earlier publications, preceded only by The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen in 1916 and Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination in 1919, also both published by Harrap. It was the reissue of Poe's tales in 1923 which cemented Clarke's reputation as a book illustrator during what is known today as 'the golden age of gift-book illustration' in the first quarter of the twentieth century.
