@MuayCe @mspcblog @MallonTech @dfarchives @Daniel_Ayiotis @DFPRB @IRLDeptDefence Thank you one and all for this amazing archive.

[1916IrishCollector @1916Collector]

@MuayCe Probably, the single, best resource made available worldwide for families, historians and collectors of the period. Well done to all involved.

@MOF1916 Mick - magpie might be an appropriate term. One physical item salvaged - originally described as “treen” but more likely “the” mallet used to typeset the Proclamation.

Paul Cézanne had an enormous influence on art in the 20th century; he inspired Picasso, Matisse and many more.

From today, his magnificent La Vie des Champs belongs to the people of Ireland and is on free display following its acquisition by @NGIreland

@MOF1916 @NMIreland @gpowithistory @NLIreland @KKPeopleNews Thanks Mick. A number of named examples within the National Collections but outside of there, can’t be many.

[1916IrishCollector @1916Collector]

This one still blows my mind. How many of these have survived? Original Cumann na mBan uniform, attributed to Helen Fottrell (nee Murphy). Kilkenny. @NMIreland @gpowithistory @NLIreland @KKPeopleNews @MOF1916

[1916IrishCollector @1916Collector]

@yugoslavfub @NMIreland @gpowithistory @NLIreland @KKPeopleNews @MOF1916 We’re really lucky with this one. It’s named to Helen and dated on the label 15th February 1922. This lady was particularly active in Co. Kilkenny organising and growing CnamB during the War of Independence era.

For the day that's in it -
"A Squad of National Troops who Operated in the Attack upon The Four Courts, Dublin"

The weapons on the floor look like they could be post-battle trophies?

@MOF1916 @pseudopodium Just posted to my FB group earlier, so I see you popped 18 already. A coincidence???
