Dundee: [printed for the author], 1887. Broadside, 28.4 x 21.6cm, printed on one side only, small stain to left margin, faint crease and finger-soiling to lower right corner
Note:
Very rare broadside by the infamously bad Scottish poet, published while he was still resident in his native Dundee, before he fled first to Perth and then Edinburgh to escape 'relentless persecution by local audiences' (ODNB); no other copies traced in libraries or in commerce.
