An image of the aftermath of the siege of the Four Courts at the outset of the Civil War in Dublin. A manuscript caption on the reverse of the print reads ‘Rebel Garrison Surrenders / Four Courts in flames after great explosion / Four Courts, the Republicans fortress in Dublin, unconditionally surrendered to the Free State troops yesterday and the garrison of about 150 all now in Mountjoy prison / Picture shows women and children being taken away from the danger zone in [a] Red Cross ambulance’.
