An original Army Issued 'Blueshirt' Tunic, in blue canvas with double pleated pockets, black buttons, and scrimped end, some wear, a rare survivor. (1) Provenance: Co. Waterford Family by descent. Note: The 'Blueshirt' uniform was seen as associating the movement with European shirted movements. Because of the ambiguous reputation of the 'Blueshirts' not many of these outfits have been preserved. Under Gen. Eoin O'Duffy's leadership its direction became increasingly erratic. The remnants of the organisation went to Spain with O'Duffy in 1936. * A historical item of enormous interest.
Irish War News. The Irish Republic Vol. 1 No. 1, Dublin Tuesday April 25 1916 [second day of the Rising]. Sm. quarto, single folded sheet. A superlative copy, easily the best to have come on the market in recent years, in immaculate condition throughout apart from a few finger marks. A very scarce item, the only publication known to have been printed in the area controlled by the rebels during the Rising, in a commandeered print works in Halston Street. The material in pages 1-3 may have been prepared in advance, but the 'Stop Press' column on page 4, headed 'The Irish Republic,' could not have been written before Tuesday morning as stated. Written by Pearse while under fire in the GPO, it names the members of the Provisional Government, and gives some details (mainly accurate) of the fighting to date. 'At the moment of writing this report (9.30am, Tuesday) the Republican forces hold all their positions and the British forces have nowhere broken through. There has been heavy and continuous fighting for nearly 24 hours, the casualties of the enemy being much more numerous than those on the Republican side. The Republican forces everywhere are fighting with splendid gallantry..' It is printed on the lightest of newsprint, and surviving copies are often in poor condition, torn, frayed or soiled; the present copy is altogether exceptional.

Important Irish Family Sketch Book Co. Wicklow [Wynne Family Sketchbook] An extensive folio Scrapbook of Watercolours, Photographs and Postcards relating to the Wynne Family of Tigroney, Co. Wicklow. The Album begins with watercolours of Views of Killucan, (Rectory, Ruins etc.) Continental Scenes, Botanical Studies, Newscuttings, Photographs, Caricatures, Animal Studies (Signed with initials A.B.W. and E.C.W.) some loosely inserted, some Naive or charming childish Sketches, approx. 140 original sketches and watercolours (of varied sizes) approx. 50 photographs & newscuttings. In hf. leather, buckram binding. Emily Adelaide Wynne (1872-1958) Irish textile artist at Avoca Woollen Mills, was born in Germany in 1872. Her parents were Albert Augustus Wynne, a civil and mining engineer, and Alice Katherine (nee Wynne). She was the eldest of five children, with three sisters, Winifred Frances (1873-1969), and Alice Clara ‘Veronica’ (1890-1969), and two brothers John Brian (1877-1977) known as Jack and Charles (1895-1917). The Wynne family were originally from Hazelwood or Annagh, County Sligo, and were related to Dr. Kathleen Lynn and Constance Markievicz. Their family home was the Georgian Tigroney House, beside the Avoca Woollen Mills in the village of Avoca, County Wicklow. Along with his brother, Wyndham, their father held mining interests in Germany, with the family frequently visiting the country. Following the collapse in value of their mining investments, the Wynne brothers pulled out of German mining in 1908, and refocused on local Irish projects. This focused Wynne’s mother on her daughters' need to develop a vocation to support themselves, encouraging them in intellectual and creative pursuits. The Wynne sisters were most likely educated at home by governesses. Frances trained in designing patterns for damask work from around December 1901 to March 1902 at Andrew S. Robinson Designing Rooms, Wellington Place, Belfast. Having attempted to sell her designs to some Belfast linen mills, she learnt the practical and economic realities of creating a design suitable for production. Wynne, her sisters and her mother ran a lace repair and sales business from around 1905 to 1916, to supplement the family’s income. Wynne ran the business again after World War I using her contacts in Europe. Both of Wynne’s brothers fought in the war, with Charles dying in France from injuries he sustained. Wynne also wrote a novel with her sister Alice Clara Veronica, “Every Dog” (1929), published under the pseudonyms E. and B. Pringle-West. The sisters took over the running of the Avoca Woollen Mills in 1927, which was originally founded in 1723. The mill became known for its strong and unusual colours, which at the outset are reported to have been by accident. The Wynne’s capitalised on this reputation, using unusual colours in their cloth with new lines, which proved a success overseas. The mill was soon supplying fabrics to fashion designers in France and woollen items to the United States. Wynne developed her own signature pink, along with other colour derived from her botanical knowledge allowing her to source and grow plants in their large walled garden for dyes. She became known for cultivating primulas including one named “Julius Caesar”. The Avoca Woollen Mills products were sold through the Country Shop on 23 St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin, and supplied tweed to the designer Elsa Schiaparelli. Wynne visited Schiaparelli in Paris in 1933 and 1937. She also made a trip to New York and Boston in 1935 with the American agent Carol Brown. They opened a shop in London in the 1930s, overseen by Wynne’s cousin, Barbara Donovan, acting as the mill’s English agent. The company was at its peak in the 1940s, employing 70 men and producing 500 yards of cloth a week. Papers, diaries and other archival material from Wynne and her sisters are held in the Manuscript collection of the Library of Trinity College, Dublin. As an Album, w.a.f. A unique and interesting item. (1)

A Unique Memento WILDE (Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills), 1854-1900, playwright, aesthete and wit. A lock of Wilde’s Hair, presented by his son Vyvyan Holland to the distinguished Irish actor Mícheál MacLiammóir, after the first London performance in 1960 of MacLiammóir’s pioneering one-man show ‘The Importance of Being Oscar’, compiled by him from Wilde’s writings. Among those present on the first night was Vyvyan Holland, then aged 74. He came backstage after the performance, said he had been deeply moved, and presented MacLiammóir with a lock of his father’s hair [the present item]. Provenance: Sold as Lot 474 in Mealy’s auction in Dublin, 4 December 2007. Purchased there by the present vendor, unopened since purchase. With a TLS from Mealy’s dated 8.2.08 confirming the item came from MacLiammoir’s estate, and was in unbroken family possession since the death of MacLiammóir and his partner Hilton Edwards. Presented in Mealy’s sealed custom made box, also containing a manuscript note reading ‘Piece of Oscar Wilde’s hair: / Very important’, in MacLiammoir’s hand. Offered with this lot is - a copy of MacLiammóir’s published script, 1963; - a selection of eight publicity photographs of MacLiammóir in various roles, from his own collection, some inscribed to rear in his hand; - Where Stars Walk. Typescript (carbon copy) of MacLiammóir’s unpublished play , pp. 130, ribbon bound in card covers, Edwards-MacLiammóir card attached, Gate Theatre stamp rear, a few inscriptions probably in MacLiammóir’s hand; - A page torn from a notebook bearing a manuscript goodwill message in MacLiammóir’s hand to performers in a late 1970s Gate Theatre production, ‘Love and prayers for triumph for you all from morbid bedridden jealous MacLiammóir’, with a pencilled message on rear complaining about lack of advance publicity for the production. Possibly his last message to the theatre he loved so well. Mícheál Mac Liammóir and Hilton Edwards were for many years Ireland’s best-known gay couple, at a time when active homosexuality was a breach of the law. They observed the proprieties, and were received at all levels of Irish society. MacLiammóir apparently was born in England in 1899 as Alfred Willmore, to an Irish mother. An actor from childhood, and a member of the London Gaelic League, he came to Ireland about 1927 and became henceforth Mícheál MacLiammóir. He toured with Anew McMaster, whose wife was MacLiammóir’s sister Marjorie, and met another English actor, Hilton Edwards. They shared similar ideas on life and theatre, and launched the Dublin Gate Theatre together in 1928, bringing ‘a great sense of style and a demanding professionalism to each production’ (Boylan, Dict. I. Biog.). They had many successes and honours, in Ireland and abroad, and were made Freemen of Dublin in 1973. In 1960, MacLiammóir’s one-man performance on the life and works of Oscar Wilde was one of the earliest essays in that genre. The first performance in Dublin was very warmly reviewed; Michael Redgrave, reading the reviews in London, phoned to arrange a West End transfer: hence the present item. MacLiammóir continued to act for a further 17 years. He became seriously ill in 1977, and died in 1978. Edwards died in 1982.
