Deathbed drawing of Arthur Griffith finally on display

The deathbed drawing of Arthur Griffith that has never been on public view, after being suppressed for a century. The image is by famed artist Paul Henry, who is better known for depicting the Connemara landscape, but it has never hung in a gallery – all because an element of it was “politically unpalatable.” Cormac O Hanrahan is the Director of Printwell Designs, and he is dedicated to getting this picture of Arthur Griffith on show for the public.
