Sign In to see what this sold for

1922 Boundary Commission Map of Ulster "with the Six North-East Counties shaded according to population in favour of the Free State and in favour of the Belfast Parliament". lithograph 79 by 89cm., 31 by 35in. Provenance: Hugh Kennedy; thence by descent Kennedy as Attorney General of the Free State was a member of the Boundary Commission. The map shows the "Belfast Parliament" support east of the River Bann, with the rest of the province in favour of the Free State. The Civil War disrupted the Boundary Commission's work and it was eventually abandoned leaving the entirety of the six north-east counties in Northern Ireland. This very rare map, by Seoirse Rudha was designed to support the Free State's claim to a large part of the territory of Northern Ireland.
