Bereik en inhoud
A Christmas greeting card signed by Douglas Hyde (Dubhghlas de hÍde). The card is signed ‘An Craoibhín’, an abbreviated form of ‘An Craoibhín Aoibhinn’ (meaning the ‘pleasant little branch’), a pen name frequently used by Hyde. As the head of state, Hyde was the supreme commander of the Irish Defence Forces. The card shows the cap badge design of the Irish Defence forces which was itself derived from the badge of the Irish Volunteers.
