A close view of a large American flag spread on the floor in a museum space, with two people working nearby and studio lights positioned around the flag for documentation.

A person stands on a mezzanine operating a camera mounted on a tripod, photographed from below, with ceiling beams and a large fan visible in the background.

New: Meath: The Irish Revolution, 1912-23, by Dr. Ciáran Wallace. As politics, war and revolution intruded on daily routine, some embraced change, risking life and livelihood for a chosen cause; others resisted. Gradually, violence affected the regular round of shopping, sport and socializing. 1/2
