A series of republican cartoons by Constance Markievicz published during the Civil War attacking various prominent Free State figures including Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins. Two of the cartoons are titled ‘Midnight Assassins’ and refer to supposed threats to the lives of Ėamon de Valera and Erskine Childers. Another affirms that Griffith and Collins are ‘marching heads up into the Empire over the bodies of their murdered Comrades’ whilst another suggests a comparison between James Craig and Michael Collins in terms of their treatment of Republicans. The cartoons may have been published in the Anti-Treaty publication 'The Fenian' (See IE CA IR-1-8-3-5).
