First edition, first impression. viii, 80pp, with tissue-guarded frontipiece and three further monochrome plate illustrations, all after Goya. Green publisher's cloth-covered boards, gilt-stamped lettering on the spine and gilt toolwork decorations. Bevelled edges. 12mo. Cloth a little rubbed at spine ends, slightly so on corners. Previous owner's pencil inscription on front paste down; some toning on free endpapers else internally neat, clean and tight. Small newspaper clipping with an article about Noyes loosely laid in.
A hard-hitting and unsubtle one-act play amounting to an anti-war drama. One of the grimmest and realist pieces of drama produced on the London stage - it was first performed at the London Apollo in 1913 - darkly foreshadowing the horrors of the first world war.
