Artist of the Revolution: Ernest Kavanagh (1884–1916)

A collection of ferocious illustrations by an important yet little-known Irish cartoonist who was killed in the 1916 Rising. Prior to his death on the front steps of Dublin's Liberty Hall, Ernest Kavanagh had established himself as one of Ireland's most notorious political cartoonists. This collection of original Kavanagh cartoons provides us with a fascinating pictorial record of an Ireland filled with protest and social unrest during the First World War and in the lead-up to the 1916 Rising.
