| Summary: | Fianna Fáil 1927 general election poster [designed by 'Fionnbarr', signed lower left] that depicts a chronological history of executions [amongst them those who died in 1798, 1803, 1867, 1916, 1920 and 1922] by the English of Irish revolutionaries or republicans; England is depicted as a pair of blood-stained hands groping for Ireland who is represented by a female figure [with the word 'Eire' on a band on her head]. Quotations from key Free State politicians: 'Free State Minister [Patrick J.] Hogan says: - "We'll bloody well execute again"; Free State Minister [Kevin] O'Higgins says:- "77 executions, and 777 more if necessary." - and the new Coercion Act is designed to make them "necessary." At foot of poster: 'Don't help to forge a new link to the chain by voting Free State. Vote Republican - and give Ireland a chance.' |
