A photographic print of an election poster encouraging the public to vote for W.T. Cosgrave as Sinn Féin MP for Kilkenny city in the parliamentary by-election in 1917. Cosgrave, who was a veteran of the 1916 Rising, was victorious in the by-election, defeating John Magennis of the Irish Parliamentary Party. Cosgrave would go on to serve for ten years (from 1922-32) as President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State.
