1916. Proclamation of The Irish Republic. The final two paragraphs of Ireland`s most important document of the 20th Century, including the signatories. Printed by letterpress on poor quality paper of a greyish white shade. The printed area is 11.75 x 18ins. Framed. An exceedingly rare half sheet of the 1916 Proclamation. The proclamation was printed in two parts due to lack of type according to John O`Connor in The Story Of The 1916 Proclamation. The top half was printed first and then the type was reset to print the bottom half. The British soldiers who captured Liberty Hall from the Citizen Army found the lower half frame of type still in the Wharfedale printing press and ran off a small number of copies as souvenirs. O`Connor, q.v., says [these halfsheets] are very rare but one such copy is in Kilmainham Jail Museum"". According to Joseph Bouch, (The Republican Proclamation of Easter Monday, 1916 Dublin, 1936) these half sheets were printed on two different coloured papers. Less than twenty examples of these half sheets are recorded, making it even rarer than the full sheet document.

(30)"" JH MacDonnell, Solictor, London WC2;thence by descent. Irish Historical Studies Volume 28, Number 110, November 1992, pp150-170: Michael Collins Collins and The Assassination of Sir Henry Wilson by Peter Hart. The assassination of Sir Henry Wilson was apparently authorised by the IRA and IRB in early 1921 but put on hold due to the Truce of June that year. With the signing of the Treaty the action should have been cancelled; it is therefore a matter of some controversy that it went ahead, possibly with the approval of either Michael Collins or Rory O`Connor. The letter, in this archive, from Dunn to Brian O`Gorman, implying Dunn`s strong link to the Intelligence Office of the Provisional Government in Oriel House, might be evidence that the action was sanctioned by Collins. The killing of Wilson outraged the British Government, and, under immense pressure by Winston Churchill, the Provisional Government were forced to attack the anti-treaty forces using artillery supplied by the UK, thus starting the Civil War.Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, born in Co. Longford in 1864, was one of Britain`s most distinguished army officers, serving as Chief of The Imperial Staff in 1918. He oversaw the British military operations, including the war of terror"" by the Auxiliaries, in Ireland during the War of Independence, and later became a Unionist MP for Co. Down.Rgeginald Dunn and Joseph O’Sullivan were former British soldiers who had served in France, fighting ‘for the rights of small nationalities’; O’Sullivan lost a leg at Ypres. On returning to England they joined the IRA, with Dunn rising to be the commanding officer of London District.JH MacDonnell, son of an Irish Nationalist MP, Mark Antony MacDonnell, was a distinguished London solicitor and member of the Irish Self Determination League. He defended many Irish republicans, including 1916 Rising participants.
