Last Parliament of Ireland

Lantern slide showing a historical illustration of the Parliament House interior, Co. Dublin. Originally catalogued as 'D3 V 26', with no further label. Depicts a drawing of the Last Parliament of Ireland elected in 1790. Historical figures are included such as John McClintock MP for Belturbet, F.J. Falkiner MP for Dublin City, John Foster Speaker of the Irish House of Commons seated most prominantly at the central table, and several more. The drama of McClintock and Foster's opposition to the Act of Union abolishing the Irish House of Parliament is evident in this compact portrayal of the scene.
