The top half was printed first and then the type was reset to print the bottom half. The British soldiers who entered Liberty Hall at the end of the Rising found the lower half frame of type still in the Wharfedale printing press and ran off a small number of copies as souvenirs. O'Connor, q.v., says [these halfsheets] are very rare but one such copy is in Kilmainham Jail Museum'. According to Joseph Bouch, (The Republican Proclamation of Easter Monday, 1916 Dublin, 1936) these half sheets were printed on two different coloured papers. The document consists of the final two paragraphs and the signatures printed to the lower half of a sheet. Printed by letterpress on poor quality paper of a greyish white shade. The printed area is 11.75 x 18ins. The framed size is Visualise on Your Wall Using Art Visualiser 1. Scan the QR Code / Download Art Visualiser if it's your 1st time 2.
