Superb Associated Copy Inscribed by Thomas MacDonagh to Joseph Mary Plunkett Two of the Executed Martyrs of 1916 Mac Donagh (Thos.) Through the Ivory Gate. A Book of Verse, Dublin (for the author), Sealy Bryers & Walker (1902). 12mo green cloth gilt, a fine copy. (1) Joseph Mary Plunkett's copy with his faint signature dated 1909 on f.e.p., and inscribed to him on rear blank by Mac Donagh with a quotation from his poem 'The Golden Joy,' dated 21.5.9. Laid in is a purple arm band with a religious motto. A superb association copy linking two executed martyrs of the 1916 Rising, both signatories of the Proclamation. Plunkett and Mac Donagh first met probably around the time of this inscription, when Mac Donagh came to teach in Dublin at Pearse's school, St. Enda's. Both had literary interests, and they collaborated in producing the 'Irish Review' monthly, which was jointly edited by Plunkett. Initially Plunkett was the more politically active of the two. He was a member of the IRB, was a member of its Military Council and is said to have drafted the military plan for the Rising in Dublin. He rose from his sick bed to take his place in the GPO. Thomas Mac Donagh took little part in public affairs until the foundation of the Irish Volunteers, when he quickly became an enthusiastic officer. It is believed that he did not become aware of the planned rising until a few weeks before the event. He married Muriel Gifford in 1912, and left behind two young children when he joined the Rising, where he was in command at Jacob's Factory. On the eve of his execution Joseph Plunkett married Grace Gifford, a sister of MacDonagh's wife, so that the two friends died as brothers-in-law. There surely cannot be a more poignantly significant copy of this little book.
