Elixir of Life. (Uisge Beatha). Being a Slight Account of the Romantic Rise to Fame of a Great House. Decorated by Harry Clarke. Dublin: John Jameson & Sons Ltd, 1925. First Edition. Pp, 17. Black cloth spine over green boards, title label printed in black to upper board. Light fading to boards, light spotting to contents pages, but overall very good copy.

Containing five full-page and four half-page drawings in black, white and yellow. 

One of the rarest and most collectable works to have been illustrated by Harry Clarke. It was the second of two promotional souvenir booklets issued by John Jameson & Sons, the Irish Whiskey distillers, the first being Irish Whiskey: A History of a Great House, published the year before.

Copies are particularly scarce in the original boards.
