A photographic postcard print of Kathleen Lynn with the three infant daughters of George Fullerton in July 1917. Known as the ‘Republican Triplets’, the children were named Kathleen, Grace, and Constance. The group includes on the left Dr Lynn (1874-1955) and on the right Constance Markievicz (1868-1927). As the card’s annotation suggests, George Fullerton (d. 1934) was a member of the Irish Citizen Army.

A photograph an Irish National Army officer (identified as ‘Captain Heaslip’ in the original caption) conversing with a Major in the Worcestershire Regiment as the former prepares to assume guard duties at the Bank of Ireland building on College Green in Dublin. This was one of several significant public handovers from the British administration to the Provisional Government during 1922. The event was noteworthy as it was first time that the historic Bank of Ireland building (prior to 1801 it housed the Parliament of Ireland) was guarded by non-British troops.
