Part of a beautiful series of Christmas card posts by @ucdarchives.bsky.social 🎺🎄
Christmas card from Eimhir Ni Uadall (Emily Weddall) to Eamon de Valera, December 1916. The card is beautifully drawn and painted, presumably by Ni Uadall. A member of Cumann na mBan, she is buried beside the republican plot at Glasnevin.
