EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Irish history, showcasing the last known image of renowned politician Michael Collins. Taken during his speech to the Skibereen Committee in March 1922, this portrait immortalizes Collins as a powerful orator and leader. Michael Collins was not just an ordinary politician; he was a soldier, saint, and revolutionary who played a pivotal role in Ireland's fight for independence. As Minister for Finance and Director of Information, he used his position to support the Republican movement and advocate for Cork South as a Teachta Dala (TD) in the First Dail. Collins' influence extended beyond politics; he also served as Adjutant General, Director of Intelligence, and Director of Organization and Arms Procurement for the IRA. His dedication to the cause led him to become President of the Irish Republican Brotherhood until his untimely death in August 1922 during the Irish Civil War. In this photograph, we see Collins standing confidently on stage at Skibereen Committee amidst a supportive crowd. The intensity with which he speaks is evident from his commanding presence at the podium. This image serves as a testament to his leadership skills and ability to captivate audiences through his powerful oratory. As Chairman of the Provisional Government and Commander-in-chief of the National Army, Collins left an indelible mark on Irish politics. This print allows us to glimpse into that transformative era while honoring one of Ireland's most influential figures from the early 20th century.
