EIRIN ARCHIVES 1 / DOCUMENT 001 — Seachtain na Gaeilge

Created in 1913 for the Gaelic League’s Seachtain na Gaeilge, this striking poster contrasts two visions of Ireland — one rooted in Irish language and identity, the other looking towards Britain. Designed by artist Frances Georgiana Chenevix Trench, the original artwork captures a moment when the revival of Irish was closely tied to a wider cultural awakening. DOCUMENT 001 reproduces the original 1913 artwork with minimal intervention, allowing its typography, symbolism and message to speak for themselves. Part of EIRIN ARCHIVES — a continuing collection drawn from Ireland’s visual history.
