Very Rare 1922 Proclamation - Probably UnrecordedRIALTAS SEALADACH NA hÉIREANN. IRISH PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT.In the Matter of the Treaty between Great Britain and Ireland signed at London on the 6th day of December 1921 .. A PROCLAMATION declaring the Calling of a Parliament in Ireland .. to meet at the City of Dublin on the First day of July next.Published at Dublin this 27th day of May, 1922.(Signed) MÍCHEÁL Ó COILEÁIN (Chairman of the Provisional Government) DIARMUID Ó hÉIGCEARTUIGH (Secretary to the Provisional Government).Broadside poster, 17 ¼ x 22 ¼ ins [44 x 27 cms], on lightish paper, verso blank.Printed by A.T. [Thoms] & Co., 5/22. Fold marks, other minor marks and abrasions, traces of adhesive to rear, generally a clean copy of a very rare item.· On 7 January 1922 the Dail voted by a slender majority to approve the Treaty with Britain. Under the Treaty terms the Parliament of Southern Ireland, set up under the (British) Government of Ireland Act, met for the only time on 14 January in Dublin. It voted to approve the Treaty, and to form a Provisional Government headed by Collins (the anti-Treaty members did not attend). Thereafter the Provisional Government continued in parallel with the Dail cabinet headed by Arthur Griffith. The intention was that an agreed election would be held, which would lead to the amalgamation of the two governments (the so-called 'Pact' election).These plans were quickly overtaken by the drift towards Civil War. The election was duly held on 16 June, but the assassination of Sir Henry Wilson and the attack on the Four Courts followed quickly. The Parliament called for 1 July did not meet until September, when Collins and Griffith were both dead.The present document appears to be extremely rare, possibly unique. We have not seen it before, and cannot find any published reference to it. It was evidently posted, probably in a police station (hence the adhesive residue to rear), but presumably was withdrawn when the Parliament was postponed; most copies would then have been dumped.The present copy is faintly inscribed to rear, in pencil 'Castletownshend'.Provenance: Estate of Edith Somerville.
