Countess Markievicz Battle Hymn contract
A signed receipt from the Countess Markievicz for monies paid by Joe Stanley for the rights in a song "the Battle Hymn"
Interesting point is that the Countess signs herself on February 1916 as IRA
Coloured flag of freedom front
Fabulous colour sheet music of The Flag of Freedom , penned by Joe Stanley
British censorship
Typical example of the censorship of the times in a letter to Editors. The situation of the Irish prisoners in Frongoch was raised and a topical subject in Parliament in London at the time.
Information leaflet
Joe Stanley was a young printer / publisher who during British rule in the earlier part of the twentieth century blatantly flouted the laws suppressing free speech under the very noses of the Dublin Metropolitan Police. Engaged in both the printing and publishing of material, music and satire that supported the burgeoning nationalist and republican movements. Joe was raided over twenty times by the DMP and closed down on several occasions. His crucial role came during Easter Week 1916. As the fires burned and the rifles cracked around the GPO, he acted as Pearse's press agent, the leader of the Rising relying on the young Joe Stanley to get word to the masses that Ireland was rebelling once again. This involved journeys to and from the GPO and "dangerous penetration through the British cordons which were drawing in around the Post Office from the Wednesday"
The book " Joe Stanley Printer to the Rising" is a unique account of a fascinating element of the period that led up to 1916, The Rising, Frongoch and beyond and to the creation of an independent state in Ireland.
