  • HathiTrust Digital Library (HDL) provides full view of one copy from U California -- original cover, material unknown: dark grey cover with light grey lettering, tiny illustration -- 12 leaves: 1 title p[1-2]; 7 text p3-16; 4 plates not included in the pagination -- Gonne's signature is stylized "mg"
  • Cover illustration --two swans intertwined and circumscribed-- is one of several circular decorations by Maud Gonne in the 1910 collection Celtic Wonder-Tales (p[203], at least; viewed at HDL).
  • Library of Congress (LCCN, below) reports a copy in the Rare Book Collection, as size 14 cm WorldCat (OCLC) reports -- "16 pages, [4] leaves of plates : color illustrations ; 16 cm" -- "Other titles: Dara cath Maighe Tuired"
  • "Dara cath Maighe Tuired" (google translate: Second Battle of Battle of Maighe Tuired) does not appear in the 28 images that HDL provides. This suggests that the scan is incomplete (eg, preliminary leaf missing) and that multiple formats differ in more than "attractive binding" materials.
