THE PROCLAMATION OF THE IRISH REPUBLIC

A printed reduced facsimile of the original Proclamation, closely following the type-style of the original but replacing imperfections in the type, on a sheet of plain greyish paper 36.8 x 25 cms, the sheet recently rebacked.

 

This appears to be a copy of what has been described as the Kansas version, since there is a copy in the P.S. OHegarty Collection in Kansas. It appears to have been printed by lithography. Its origin and date is uncertain, but an extensive analysis on the Typefoundry web-page suggests a date possibly in the 1950s (P.S. OHegarty died in 1957). It is very scarce; the paper is thin and fragile.
