An attractive item on four unpaginated folio pages, in a bifolium. Uncommon. In fair condition, lightly aged and creased, but not folded. Drophead title: 'No. 8 (New Series) August 1935. / A Broadside / Editors: W. B. Yeats and F. R. Higgins; Musical Editor, Arthur Duff. Published monthly at the Cuala Press, One Hundred and Thirty Three Lower Baggot Street, Dublin.' At bottom left of first page: '300 copies only.' At foot of last page: 'The illustrations on this Broadside are by Victor Brown.' Beneath the drop-head title is the first illustration, of a bird flying above a nest on a branch, coloured in grey-green.

Between the second and third parts of the poem, on the second page, is the score of its music. The poem ends on the third page, and is followed by an illustration, in red, green, grey, orange and yellow, of the pharaoh's daughter finding a baby in the rushes. Underneath this is the poem 'Pharao's [sic] Daughter', 'Attributed to Michael Moran - "Zozimus."'), beginning 'In Agypt's land contaygious to the Nile,'. On the last page is a second musical score, headed 'Tune to "Pharao's Daughter"'. The item is from the Lynd archive, and there are pencil notes to the scores, apparently by Sylvia Lynd. Beside the first she writes 'Good', and beside the second she makes a note of two alternative keys.…
