May 14, 1881

PAT, Dublin, Ireland, May 14, 1881  This title featured a double page color comic print at the centerfold, this one captioned: "Force Is No Remedy". A color cartoon on the front page as well.
This was an Irish weekly satirical journal by W. P. Swan, beginning in December 1879. It was founded by cartoonist John Fergus O'Hea and writer Edwin Hamilton. Pat's political sympathies were for Home Rule, although it also featured apolitical material. The character of Pat, the honest Irishman represented as a handsome, good-natured tenant farmer, would appear in cartoons by O'Hea and others in other publications.
Eight pages, 7 1/2 bay 9 3/4 inches, great condition.
