O'Nolan (Brian, a.k.a. Flann O'Brien & Myles na gCopaleen) A selection of personal memorabilia including the master's chair on which he habitually sat while working at his typewriter, a sturdy Victorian mahogany Dublin Chair with leather seat (distressed), some restoration including replacement of a leg, restorer has written O'Nolan's Belgrave Square address in pencil on underside; also the writer's well-known hat, and a group of original photographs, one showing O'Nolan (wearing the hat) on Sandymount Strand with Austin Clarke, another with his business card, and a third in graduation dress; and O'Nolan's briefcase, in which some of these items were stored. A superb collection of personal items. One can imagine the writer at his chair, tapping away at a Cruiskeen Lawn column or mediating on the Third Policeman's bicycle, his hat and perhaps a glass of whiskey somewhere within reach.
