EIRIN ARCHIVES 2 / PORTRAIT 001 — Patrick Henry Pearse

Patrick Henry Pearse was one of the central figures of the Irish revolutionary period — a teacher, writer, Irish-language activist and one of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising. This portrait captures Pearse in a quieter, more personal moment, removed from the familiar images of rebellion and public life. PORTRAIT 001 reproduces the original photograph with minimal intervention, preserving the character and restraint of the image. Part of EIRIN ARCHIVES — a continuing collection drawn from Ireland’s visual history.
