              1940 Brendan Bracken and Winston Churchill
              IE LMOD 705 · Item · Twentieth Century

              A black and white photograph of Winston Churchill being followed by Brendan Braken out of 10 Downing Street by Central Press. With Braken's signature also in the bottom of the frame. From Getty 'Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965) leaves Downing Street in London with Irish journalist and Conservative politician Brendan Braken (1901 – 1958).'

              Winston Churchill leaves 10 Downing Street with his ‘faithful chela,’ Brendan Bracken. One of the most mysterious Dubliners of the 20th Century, Bracken was an adventurer who tried to disguise his roots (Dublin/Tipperary), claiming instead to be Australian. A Tory MP at the age of 28, he published both the Economist and the Financial Times, and was loyal to Churchill when the latter had been cast into the political wilderness after the First World War. In 1940, when Ireland practiced scrupulous neutrality, Brendan Bracken played a key role in Churchill’s succession as Prime Minister, and went on to serve as Minister of Information for three years. Viscount Bracken died in 1958 at the age of 57. He is the subject of an excellent biography by fellow Dubliner Charles Lysaght.

              Poster for Patrick Munden running for election in Dublin South City in 1923 showing a photo of Munden in the centre.

              Born in 1883 in Allahabad, Patrick Munden was the son of an officer in the Indian Army. A successful architect and engineer, Munden left his mark on Dublin, working on Grangegorman Mental Hospital as well as many churches. A member of the Irish Volunteers, he was involved in the Howth gun-running episode of 1914 and was later held in Dublin Castle during Easter 1916. Munden would go on to represent Rathmines and Pembroke, but on this occasion he failed in a bid for the Dáil, finishing last of 20 candidates in Dublin South, with 0.57% of the vote.

              1922 Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith portraits by Sir John Lavery
              IE LMOD 468 · Item · Twentieth Century

              Black and white portrait prints of Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith by John Lavery captioned respectively as Chairman Provisional Government and President Dáil Eiréann.

              These famous portraits of Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith by Sir John Lavery were painted during the Civil War. Collins and Griffith were members of the delegation that signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921. The Treaty did not provide full independence from Britain, Northern Ireland would remain part of the UK and an oath to the King would have to be sworn by all members of the Dáil. The Civil War broke out, which the anti-Treaty side eventually lost. Collins and Griffith were both dead by the end of the war – Collins killed in an ambush, Griffith succumbing to heart failure.

              1921 Accreditation of Dáil Plenipotentiaries
              IE LMOD 275 · Item · Twentieth Century

              Letter dated 7 October 1921, appointing Arthur Griffith, Michael Collins, Robert C Barton, Edmund J Duggan and George Gavan Duffy as Envoy Plenipotentiaries in both English and Irish (the Irish copy is embossed with the seal of the president) signed by Éamon De Valera. Also a list of instructions and rules for the plenipotentiary team.
              This is the most important historical document in the museum. Appointing Dáil Éireann’s delegation for the Anglo-Irish Treaty negotiations, it includes signed instructions from Éamon de Valera, who had recently been chosen as Dáil President by his colleagues. It is one of five original copies, and for 40 years the document languished at the back of a filing cabinet in a law firm on Ormond Quay. The exact role and powers of the plenipotentiaries would be disputed in the bitter debate that surrounded the Dáil’s ratification of the Treaty.
