Provenance:-
Inherited from the vendor's grandmother Mrs Irma Bruce Waddell (nee Pratt) 1896-1978. She was born at 25 Lower Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin 2 and lived at 19 Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin 2 with her family as a teenager during the Easter Rising.
Her father was a retired surgeon (Joseph Dallas Pratt, TCD, MA, MD, BCh, FRCSI -1856-1918) who had also been the surgeon to the Dublin Metropolitan Police (The Royal Irish Constabulary policed Ireland outside Dublin). Her great uncle (her mother's uncle) was Christopher Palles (1831-1920), Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer of Ireland who was a noted legal figure of the time and whose judgements are still cited in Irish courts today.
It is likely that the Pratt family put the Easter Rising collection together through their judicial and/or Police connections.
