Come Here To Me!

An Post are issuing three beautiful stamps to commemorate the 1913 Lockout. The stamps commemorate three of the leading figures of the labour movement at the time, in the form of Jim Larkin, James Connolly and Countess Markievicz. They go on release on August 22nd. More information on the stamps is available in a recent issue of ‘Irish Stamps: The Collector’. They certainly make a nice little commemorative and collectable piece, much like the stamps issued in 1966 on the fiftieth anniversary of the Easter Rising.
