Description

Condition: New

The price of a print like the one pictured typically ranges from €60to over €120 depending on the size, style (photo vs. illustration), and whether it is framed or a limited edition.

The woman in the photo is Constance Markievicz (née Gore-Booth), a prominent Irish revolutionary nationalist, suffragist, and socialist. This specific studio portrait, taken around 1915, shows her posing in the uniform of the Irish Citizen Army (ICA) with a revolver.
Key Information
Role in Irish History: Markievicz was a foundational member of the ICA and Cumann na mBan. She served as second-in-command during the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin, where she fought against British forces.
Political Career: After her arrest and death sentence (which was commuted due to her gender), she was released in a general amnesty in 1917. In 1918, she became the first woman elected to the British House of Commons, though she refused to take her seat. She later became one of the first women in the world to hold a cabinet position when she was appointed Minister for Labour in the first Dáil Éireann (Irish assembly) in 1919.
The Photograph: The photo is considered an iconic representation of female resistance and the Irish revolutionary period. The revolver she is holding is a borrowed Colt New Service Model 1909, though her primary weapon was typically a Mauser C96 semi-automatic pistol.
Legacy: She is known for her selflessness and dedication to Irish independence, having used her personal wealth to support soldiers and the needy.
