A photographic print of James Connolly (standing at far right) at the funeral of the veteran Fenian, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa in August 1915. O’Rossa had died in a hospital on Staten Island, New York. When he died Tom Clarke asked for his body to be returned to Ireland for burial. The funeral marked the first occasion when Connolly and the Irish Citizen Army appeared in a formal alliance with the Irish Volunteers. O'Donovan Rossa’s funeral was one of the largest political commemorations ever witnessed in Ireland. It was notable for Pádraig Pearse’s famous graveside oration.
