1916 Rising tricolour among Whyte lots
With everything from a Sinn Féin Tricolour flown over one of the buildings occupied by the Irish Volunteers during the 1916 Rising, a 1916 ambulance log; to carved Iron Age stone heads and an ancient gold Torc, Whyte’s History and Literature sale in Dublin on this day week covers an enormous span of time.
There are 17th century maps, volunteer belts and buttons, General Maxwell’s dress uniforms as Colonel and General of the Black Watch (42nd) Royal Highland Regiment alongside a West Limerick Brigade IRA tactical map and prison albums with insights into conditions in internment camps.
