Softcover. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. During the Irish Exhibition of Living Art at the Project Arts Centre in 1972 Brian ODoherty in a performance before 30 invited witnesses and assisted by artists Robert Ballagh and Brian King undertook to sign his artworks Patrick Ireland until such time as the British military presence is removed from Northern Ireland and all citizens are granted their civil rights. That commitment often seen as controversial was described by ODoherty as an expatriates gesture in response to Bloody Sunday in Derry. After 36 years of making art as Patrick Ireland ODoherty reclaimed his birth name with the symbolic burial of his alter ego in the grounds of IMMA on the afternoon of Tuesday 20 May 2008. The burial was a gesture of reconciliation to celebrate the restoration of peace in Northern Ireland. We are burying hate stated ODoherty its not often you get the chance to do that.

Poetical satire by the notorious Shakespeare forger dedicated "To that most enlightened Phalanx the Reviewers of Great Britain".

It is said however that many productions from his pen have appeared without any signature which have been much commended: it is therefore to be regretted that this gentleman does not avow to the world all he has written that they may be fully enabled to appreciate the extent of his literary acquirements ". footnote p. 122 NCBEL III 386. 1st Edition.

9141Ireland nd. First Printing. Very Good/Good. First Printing. Three uncommon postcards with engravings of the secret operation of 24-25 April 1914 in Larne. "The Larne gun-running was a major gun smuggling operation organised in April 1914 in Ireland by Major Frederick H. Crawford and Captain Wilfrid Spender for the Ulster Unionist Council to equip the Ulster Volunteer Force. The operation involved the smuggling of almost 25000 rifles and between 3 and 5 million rounds of ammunition from the German Empire with the shipments landing in Larne Donaghadee and Bangor in the early hours between Friday 24 and Saturday 25 April 1914. The Larne gun-running may have been the first time in history that motor-vehicles were used "on a large scale for a military-purpose and with striking success"." The true significance of the operation for the Unionist movement is debatable but it remains a matter of pride and an example of heroism. It did provoke a response of more direct significance when Erskine Childers organized the Howth gun running of June 1914. The 900 guns that he brought into County Dublin were subsequently used in the 1916 Easter Rising and Home Rule ceased to be a matter of debate. One card is used bearing George V stamp. Two show minor edge wear else bright and clean; one was mailed shows creases closed tear writing at rear stamp else bright. 3"x5". Illus. b/w plates. unknown

As usual the engraved titles with a bit more of the spotting. Generally a very clean and handsome set in unusually nice condition. AN ESPECIALLY BEAUTIFUL WORK FILLED WITH PICTURESQUE STEEL ENGRAVED SCENES OF IRELAND. William Bartlett traveled extensively throughout Europe and the East with his good friend Dr. Beattie and brought home over a thousand drawings. Eventually they were engraved and published into volumes with descriptive text. Here we find one of one of Bartlett's best works partly attributable to the magnificent scenery of the country described. Each engraving combines attention to detail subtle use of lighting and shade and romantic portrayal of the landscape. Scenes are rendered from virtually every corner of the country and include both natural and architectural compositions.<br> The text focuses heavily on the history of each locale but also includes local customs sights and first hand travel impressions. A somewhat elusive title in the Bartlett oeuvre these illustrations of Ireland are typical of his best and most famous work. George Virtue hardcover
