Irish Times - 2nd May 1916 - Page 1 (Front Page). In keeping with many newspaper formats of the day this page contains a complete page of fascinating classified advertisements and personal advertisements (presumably placed and scheduled for publication prior to the Rising) which give a remarkable context for the stunning impact of the Rising and provides an insight into the social profile of the Irish Times readers of the day. There is no mention of the Rising.

This finely printed reproduction of the largest daily "Broadsheet" of the day, captures all the detail of the original on 210 gsm Satin Art paper and is set on a mottled green suede background, behind glass, in an tasteful antique style Gold Leaf frame.
