Description	English: The "Gynberg Ballads", a political satire published by Alatau T. Atkinson in 1887, mocking the corruption in King Kalakaua's court. According to historian Ralph Simpson Kuykendall, the ballad and illustrations are the works of Edward William Purvis, a former vice chamberlain in the Hawaiian royal court. Vignette illustrations in color throughout. (8vo) modern red library cloth, original wrappers bound in. First Edition. Rare pamphlet of humorous verse parodying the reign of Kalakaua. Printed in San Francisco and shipped to the Islands, their arrival and subsequent seizure led to a legal struggle between Atkinson and the Collector of Customs, A.S. Cleghorn. "The subjects include the opium license scandal, the "Historical Procession" that had been a feature of Kalakaua's Jubilee celebration of 1886, and the voyage of the Kaimiloa to Somoa." Forbes 3867.
