Capturing O'Neill: Dedication pages of books on Irish traditional music, signed by Capt. Francis O'Neill

Herbert Halpert

Though this is not a dedication page from O'Neill, this book has an interesting story. This copy of The Dance Music of Ireland (1907) was owned by Herbert Halpert. This book, along with a first edition of O’Neill’s Music of Ireland: 400 Choice Selections Arranged for Piano and Violin (1915) also owned by Halpert, are in the UCLA collections. Capturing O'Neill has documented a third O'Neill owned by Halpert - a copy of Irish Minstrels and Musicians that is held in the Herbert Halpert Collection (Halpert 891), in the Queen Elizabeth II Library Special Collections of the Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada.
A biography of Halpert can be found on the Memorial University Library website.
