Proclamation of the Irish Republic

Descripción

This later printed copy measures 28 x 21.5 cms. approx. It is likely that it was published by a Dublin bookseller on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Easer Rising of 1916. The Irish Proclamation was originally printed at Liberty Hall, Dublin, under the protection of the soldiers of the Irish Citizen Army, on Easter Sunday, 1916, and read from the steps of the General Post Office on Easter Monday morning by Padraic H. Pearse, in the presence of the other signatories of the document, Thomas J.Clarke, Sean MacDiarmada, Thomas McDonagh, Eamonn Ceannt, James Connolly & Joseph Plunkett. This important historical document heralded the Rising and Ireland's advance towards self determination. The Proclamation, the corner-stone of modern Irish history, the Irish Declaration of Independence, was probably composed by Pearse, with amendments by Connolly and McDonagh.
