BUYERS’ COMMISSION
20% (24.6% including VAT) is added to the hammer price of all lots. A
further 3% (The-Saleroom) or 5% (Invaluable) is charged to on-line
bidders. VAT applies to these charges but not to the hammer price.
ROOM BIDDERS
1. Room bidders must register and obtain a bidding number on
arrival. Proof of identity is required from clients new to us.
2. If successful in obtaining a lot please ensure you display your
number clearly to the auctioneer and that it is your number that
is called out. If there is any doubt about the hammer price or
buyer, please draw this to the attention of the auctioneer
immediately.
3. Payment may be made by cash, bank draft, cleared cheque, debit
or credit card — we accept Mastercard or Visa (a charge of 2% is
made on credit card transactions). There is no charge on debit
card transactions.
LIVE INTERNET BIDDING
You can bid “live” at this auction on our website. With live audio and
visual broadcast you can see and hear the auctioneer and bid at the
click of a mouse from the comfort of your home or office or wherever
you can log on to the world wide web. You can even get an iPhone
app to bid live at Whyte’s from your mobile phone. Details from our
website, www.whytes.ie The provider of our live bidding platform
charges a fee of 3% of hammer price to purchasers.
ABSENTEE BIDDING
1. If you are unable to attend you may bid before the sale, using the
form provided. Enter the maximum you are prepared to offer for
each lot and the auctioneer will represent you as if you are
personally attending the sale. Lots are knocked down at one step
above the next highest bid, and not necessarily at your highest
bid. Example: your bid is €1000 and next highest bid is €800 —
the hammer price is €850.
2. LIMIT BIDDING: Absentee bidders may limit their total purchases
to a set amount by entering their limit on the bidding form. This
is especially useful for bidders wishing to cover as many lots as
possible while setting a maximum amount to spend.
3. “OR” BIDDING: Absentee bidders who wish to bid on two or more
lots, but only wish to purchase one, may do so by entering “OR”
between the bids — the lots will be bid on in catalogue order.
4. EQUAL BIDS: In the event of equal bids being received for
the same lot the first received will be given preference. If the
instruction “break ties” is entered on the bid form the auctioneer
will increase the bid by one step in the event of equal bids being
received or in the event of a tie with a
room bidder.
5. “BUY” BIDS: Unless otherwise instructed bids of “Buy” or “Buy at
Best” shall be taken to indicate bids of up to three times the
stated higher estimate in the catalogue.
6. INVOICING AND PAYMENT: Successful absentee bidders will be
sent a pro forma invoice immediately after the sale with details
of payment methods. All invoices must be paid within 7 days of
the date of the sale or the lot(s) may be deemed in default and
any subsequent losses incurred on resale become the responsibility
of the bidder. The Auctioneers and House Agents Act, under
which we are licensed to hold public auctions, only allows for lots
to be handed over to purchasers when paid for
in full.
TELEPHONE BIDDING
Subject to availability we can telephone clients during the sale.
This facility is only available on lots with a lower estimate of €500 or
more.
CONDITION OF LOTS
Note: The lots in this sale are old artefacts and documents and
vary greatly in condition. They are therefore offered with all faults
and buyers are strongly recommended to satisfy themselves as to
condition by inspecting them beforehand. Please see Terms and
Conditions on page 9.
SHIPPING / POSTAGE
We do not handle this ourselves but will recommend a suitable
company who can collect your purchases on your behalf and pack and
despatch them to you once they have been paid for.
PRICES REALISED
A complete list of prices realised and unsold lots will be sent
automatically to all absentee bidders and will be posted to our
Internet website (www.whytes.ie) on the day after the sale.
FIREARMS
Most firearms offered in this sale are either antiques or
deactivated. Those that are not can only be delivered to persons
with a valid firearms licence.
EXPORT LICENCES
May be required for objects of archaeological interest or of
national importance sold to buyers outside the State.
IVORY
Certain countries, including the USA, ban the importation of
ivory including antique worked items. Such lots may be seized and
confiscated by the relevant authorities.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE NOTICE
Whyte & Sons Auctioneers Limited, trading as Whyte’s, exercises all reasonable
care to ensure that all descriptions are reliable and accurate, and that each
item is genuine unless the contrary is indicated. However, the descriptions are
not intended to be, are not and are not to be taken to be, statements of fact
or representations of fact in relation to the lot. They are statements of the
opinion of Whyte’s, and attention is particularly drawn to clause 5 set out
below. Comments and opinions, which may be found in or on lots as labels,
notes, lists, catalogue prices, or any other means of expression, do not
constitute part of lot descriptions and are not to be taken as such unless they
are made or specifically verified by Whyte’s.
Clause 1
(a) Each lot is put up subject to any reserve price imposed by the vendor
(b) Subject to sub-clause (a) of this clause, the highest bidder for each lot shall
be the buyer thereof
(c) If any dispute arises as to the highest bidder the auctioneer shall have
absolute discretion to determine the dispute and may put up again and re-sell
the lot in respect of which the dispute arises
Clause 2
(a) The bidding and advances shall be regulated by and at the absolute
discretion of the auctioneer and he shall have the right to refuse any bid or
bids. NOTE: Where an agent bids, even on behalf of a disclosed client, the
auctioneer nevertheless has the right at his discretion to refuse any such bid.
(b) The buyer of each lot shall immediately on its sale, if required by the
auctioneer, give him the name and address of the buyer and pay to Whyte’s at
his discretion the whole or part of the purchase money. If the buyer of any lot
fails to comply with any such requirement Whyte’s may put up again and re-
sell the lot; if upon such re-sale a lower price is obtained than was obtained
on the first sale the buyer in default on the first sale shall make good the
difference in price and expenses of re-sale which shall become a debt due
from him.
(c) Where an agent purchases on behalf of an undisclosed client such agent
shall be personally liable for payment of the purchase money to Whyte’s and
for safe delivery of the lot to the said client.
Clause 3
(a) Whyte’s reserves the rights to bid on behalf of clients including vendors,
but shall not be liable for errors or omissions in executing instructions to bid.
(b) Whyte’s reserves the rights, before or during a sale, to group together lots
belonging to the same vendor, to split up and to withdraw any lot or lots at
Whyte’s absolute discretion and without giving any reason in any case.
(c) Whyte’s acts as agent only, and therefore shall not be liable for any default
of the buyer or vendor.
Clause 4
(a) Each lot shall be at the buyer’s risk from the fall of the hammer and shall
be paid for in full before delivery and taken away at his expense within one
day of the sale. The buyer will be responsible for all removal, storage and
insurance charges in respect of any lot which has not been collected within
one day of the date of sale.
(b) If any buyer fails to pay in full for any lot within 7 days of the date of sale
such lot may at any time thereafter at Whyte’s discretion be put up for sale by
auction again or sold privately; if upon such re-sale a lower price is obtained
than was obtained on the first sale the buyer in default on the first sale shall
make good the difference in price and the expenses of re-sale which shall
become debt due from him.
(c) Interest at 2 per cent per month and legal costs (if any) for recovery of
monies due shall be payable by the buyer on any overdue account.
Clause 5
(a) All lots are made available for inspection before each sale and each buyer,
by making a bid, acknowledges that he has satisfied himself as to the physical
condition, age and catalogue description of each lot (including but not
restricted to whether the lot is damaged or has been repaired or restored).
(b) All lots are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description
and Whyte’s and its employees, servants or agents shall not be responsible for
any error of description or for the condition or authenticity of any lot, save for
Clause 5 (c) below.
Written or verbal condition reports may be supplied by Whyte’s on request but
these are merely statements of opinion, and any error or omission in these
reports may not be taken as grounds for a cancellation of sale or refund of any
part of the purchase price or the cost of any repairs to the lot or lots reported
on
(c) If any lot sold at this auction is subsequently proved to be a “deliberate
forgery”, Whyte’s will cancel the sale and refund to the buyer the total amount
paid by the buyer for the item, in the currency of the original sale. The onus of
proving a lot to be a “deliberate forgery” is on the buyer. For these purposes,
“deliberate forgery” means a lot that in Whyte’s reasonable opinion is an
imitation created to deceive as to authorship, where the correct description of
such authorship is not reflected by the description in the catalogue (taking
into account any Glossary of Terms). No lot shall be considered a deliberate
forgery by reason only of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification
work of any kind (including repainting or overpainting). This guarantee does
not apply if (i) either the catalogue description was in accordance with the
generally accepted opinions of scholars and experts at the date of the sale, or
the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions;
(ii) or the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was
a counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally
available or accepted, unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely to
have caused damage to the lot or likely (in Whyte’s reasonable opinion) to
have caused loss of value to the lot; or (iii) there has been no material loss in
value of the lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description.
This guarantee is provided for a period of seven (7) years after the date of the
relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the buyer and may not be
transferred to any third party. Whyte’s has discretion to extend the guarantee
for a longer period. To be able to claim under this Guarantee, the buyer must
(i) notify Whyte’s in writing within three (3) weeks of receiving any
information that causes the buyer to question the authenticity or attribution
of the item, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was
purchased and the reasons why it is thought to be a deliberate forgery; and (ii)
return the item to Whyte’s in the same condition as the date of the sale to the
buyer and be able to transfer good title in the item, free from the third party
claims arising after the date of the sale. Whyte’s has discretion to waive any of
the above requirements. Whyte’s may require the buyer to obtain at the
buyer’s cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the
field, mutually acceptable to Whyte’s and the buyer. Whyte’s shall not be
bound by any reports produced by the buyer, and reserves the right to seek
additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Whyte’s decides to
rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund the buyer the reasonable
costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports.
(d) Any lot listed as a “mixed lot, collection, range, portfolio etc.” or stated to
comprise or contain a collection or range of items which are not described
shall be put up for sale not subject to rejection and shall be taken by the buyer
with all (if any) faults, lack of genuineness and errors of description and
numbers of items in the lot, and the buyer shall have no right to reject the lot;
except that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this sub-clause,
where before a sale a person intending to bid at the sale gives notice in
writing to, and satisfies Whyte’s that any such lot contains any item or items
not described in the sale catalogue and that person specifically describes that
item or those items in that notice, then that item or those items shall, as
between Whyte’s and that person, to be taken to form part of the description
of the lot.
Clause 6
The respective rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed and
interpreted by Irish law, and the buyer hereby submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Irish Courts.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
(a) The buyer shall pay Whyte’s a commission at the rate of 20% (excluding
VAT under The Margin Scheme and which is not reclaimable). On-line buyers
shall pay a further fee of 3% (excluding VAT).
(b) Whyte’s or its employees, servants or agents may, on request organise
packing and shipping of lots purchased or may order on the buyer’s behalf
third parties to pack or ship purchases. Under no circumstances does Whyte’s
accept any liability whatsoever for any loss or damage howsoever occasioned
in the course of such service.
(c) The buyer authorises Whyte’s to use any photographs or illustrations of any
lot purchased for any or all purposes as Whyte’s may require.
The placing of a bid will be taken as full agreement to all the above conditions.

Guidon of Costello Volunteers, County Mayo.
An 18th century silk swallow tailed flag of a form typically carried by light cavalry regiments. The
obverse with black ground with scalloped, shamrock-bordered cartouche centred by a mounted
Volunteer offering his services to Hibernia, beneath Gaelic script‘Mo Rish agus mo Thir’, which roughly
translates as my king and my country; the reverse with red ground and a gilt Maid-of-Erin harp beneath
‘Costello Volunteers’, within a border of shamrock.
The Costello family who gave their name to the Barony of Costello in County Mayo were originally
Nangles, or de Angulos who came to the area with the Normans in the 12th century. The first reference
to this family is in the Annals of the Four Masters in 1193. The sons of one of the first Nangles, Gilbert
de Nangle, became known as the Oistealb, and gave rise to the surname Mac Oisdealbh, later
MacOisdealbhaigh, anglicised to MacCostello. It was the first recorded instance of a Norman family
assuming an Irish‘Mac’name. Thenceforward, they became thoroughly Irish. The MacCostello land was
in the part of Mayo now known as the Barony of Costello until the end of the 16th century. In 1565,
their seat of power was near Ballaghaderreen (now part of County Roscommon). Their name, although
the Mac has now been dropped, is a common surname in both Mayo and County Galway where it is
usually spelt with an extra‘e’at the end. The Costelloes were one of the many great Irish families [which,
during the seventeenth century destruction of everything Gaelic, produced famous rapparees who
fought against Oliver Cromwell and the parliamentarians. The local Costelloe landholders had lost the
title to their lands to Theobald Dillon, 1st Viscount Dillon during the period of the reconquest in the
province of Connacht. To save expense and ensure the smooth legal transfer, he persuaded them to
allow him to surrender their lands for them in one land-title in the surrender and regrant process and
have it regranted in his name, becoming the legal landowner in the process. He never returned this
title to the lands to the native owners, which would lead to rapparee actions by Dudley (or Dubhaltach
Caoch) Costello against the Dillons in the seventeenth century. Dudley was an officer in the army of the
Confederate Catholics in 1642, and later became a colonel in the Spanish army. Returning to Ireland
after the Restoration and disappointed by his failure to recover the family estates, he devoted the
rest of his life to wreaking vengeance on the new Dillon proprietors. The Costello Voluntees were
raised in 1779 and were also known as MacCostelloe's Regiment. They were commanded by Colonel
Charles Costello. They were loyal to the Irish Parliament and opposed to the Union and would have
taken part in The Great Rebellion of 1798. Little is known of their involvement and this guidon seems to
be the only artefact connected with these Mayo/Roscommon Volunteers. By the early 19th century the
main family residence was at Edmondstown. Most of the Costello estate was in the parishes of
Aghamore and Kilcolman, including one townland in the barony of Frenchpark. In 1862 Arthur Robert
Costello, son of Charles, advertised for sale in the Landed Estates’Courtabout1100acresinthebaronies
ofGallenandCostello, county Mayo and about 1050 acres in the parish of St Johns, barony of Athlone,
county Roscommon. In the 1870s however he still owned 7513 acres in county Mayo and 1038 acres in
county Roscommon. The Costello estate was sold to the tenants in the 1880s and the house to the
Bishop of Achonry. In 1878 Charles Costello of Kilfree, Gurteen, county Sligo owned 174 acres in county
Mayo and 1330 acres in county Sligo. Most of this property was in the barony of Coolavin. After 1909 an
offer was accepted by J.P. Costello on over 180 acres of his estate in county Sligo.

19th century, green ensign, a flag used by some Irish merchant shipping.
A green flag, Union flag to the upper left corner, centred by a gold Maid of Erin harp.
50 x 106in. (127 x 269.24cm)
There is evidence that the Green Ensign, although never officially approved, had been used by some
Irish ships since the 17th Century. The early versions use the emblem of the Irish Revenue – a“Mermaid”
Harp surmounted by a crown in gold. However the background should have been St. Patrick’s Blue
rather than emerald green according to the authorities. In the 1830s The Western Yacht Club used the
Green Ensign for a while. In some cases Irish vessels had this flag confiscated by authorities in harbours
in Britain, Ireland and the West Indies according to some records. In 1872, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
in reply to the Admiralty, declared the use of the Green Ensign to be incorrect, and in support attached
a well researched paper by Sir J. Barnard-Burke, Ulster King of Arms, supporting the choice of blue
as the National Colour of Ireland. Thus the Harp is shewn as gold on blue in the Royal Standard, and
indeed since the 1930s the same is the Standard of the President of the Republic of Ireland. A scarce and
interesting flag

& charted 900 km of Antarctic coast at Victoria Land in
his circumnavigation of the continent. He was the first to
penetrate the Ross Sea ice pack, discovering Ross Island
and attainment by 4 degrees the furthest Southern
expedition to date. Ross also accurately determined
the position of the Magnetic Pole.“The first [voyage] to
enter what is known as the Ross Sea, the first to sight
the Admiralty Mountains, the first to see Victoria Land,
Ross Island, Mounts Erebus and Terror, and the Ross Ice
Shelf, amongst other momentous discoveries. Once this

1915 (8 May). After Fortunino Matania. The Last General Absolution of the Munsters
at Rue du Bois. Signed.
A colour lithograph magazine centrefold, originally published in The Sphere 27 November 1916,
inscribed,‘Sincerely yours - Francis A. Gleeson.’
Father Francis Gleeson (28 May 1884 – 26 June 1959) was an Irish Roman Catholic priest who served as a
British Army chaplain in the First World War. Educated at seminaries near Dublin, Gleeson was ordained
in 1910 and worked at a home for the blind before volunteering for service upon the outbreak of war.
Commissioned into the Army Chaplains’Department and attached to the 2nd Battalion, Royal Munster
Fusiliers he served with them at the First Battle of Ypres. During this battle Gleeson is said to have taken
command of the battalion after all the officers were incapacitated by the enemy. On 8 May 1915, on
the eve of the Battle of Aubers Ridge, Gleeson addressed the assembled battalion at a roadside shrine
and gave the general absolution. The battalion suffered heavily in the battle and when paraded again
afterwards only 200 men were assembled. The painting by Fortunino Matania was made at the request
of the widow of the battalion’s commanding officer. At the end of his year’s service in 1915 Gleeson
returned to Dublin and became a curate but rejoined the army as a Chaplain in 1917 and remained for a
further two years. After the outbreak of the Civil War in Ireland, he became a chaplain with the Irish Free
State army in February 1923. In August 1944, he became parish priest of St Catherine’s, Meath St, Dublin.
He was made canon in May 1956 and died three years later. He is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery. Born
in Naples, the son of artist Eduoardo Matania, Chevalier Fortunino Matania (16 April 1881 – 8 February
1963) studied at his father’s studio, exhibiting his first work at Naples Academy at 11. By the age of 14
he was helping his father produce illustrations for books and magazines. His talent was recognised by
the editor of the Italian periodical L’Illustrazione Italiania and Matania produced weekly illustrations for
the magazine between 1895 and 1902. At the age of 20, Matania began working in Paris for Illustration
Francaise and, in 1902, was invited to London to cover the Coronation of Edward VII for The Graphic.
Matania would subsequently cover every major event – marriage, christening, funeral and Coronation
– of British royalty up to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1953. In 1904, Matania joined the staff of
The Sphere where some of his most famous work was to appear, including his illustrations of the sinking
of the Titanic in 1912. At the outbreak of the First World War, Matania became a war artist and was
acclaimed for his graphic and realistic images of trench warfare.

1916 Rising Medal to Joseph Plunkett.
Awarded posthumously to Plunkett, a 1916 Rising bronze medal on green and orange silk poplin ribbon,
the reverse numbered‘70’and named‘Joseph Plunkett’, in box of issue.
Provenance:
Gifted by Grace Gifford to Cathal Gannon, thence to the current owner. The circumstances of the gifting of the
medal by Grace Gifford to Cathal Gannon are related in Gannon, Charles. Cathal Gannon: The Life and Times
of a Dublin Craftsman, 1910-1999; 2006 Lilliput Press, Dublin, p.149.
Plunkett was born in Dublin, son of George Noble Plunkett, a papal count and Irish nationalist. Plunkett
contracted tuberculosis at a young age and which afflicted him for the rest of his life. He was educated
at the Catholic University School (CUS) and by the Jesuits at Belvedere College in Dublin and later at
Stonyhurst College, in Lancashire, where he acquired some military knowledge from the Officers’Training
Corps. Throughout his life, Joseph Plunkett took an active interest in Irish heritage and the Irish language.
He joined the Gaelic League and began studying with Thomas MacDonagh, with whom he formed a
lifelong friendship. The two were both poets with an interest in theatre, and both were early members
of the Irish Volunteers, joining their provisional committee. Plunkett persuaded his father to let a family
property at Kimmage be used as a training centre for Irish Volunteers. Sometime in 1915 Joseph Plunkett
joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood and soon after was sent to Germany to meet with Roger
Casement, who was negotiating with the German government on behalf of Ireland. Plunkett successfully
got a promise of a German arms shipment to coincide with the rising. Plunkett was one of the original
members of the IRB Military Committee that was responsible for planning the Easter Rising, and it was
largely his plan that was followed. Shortly before the rising was to begin, Plunkett was hospitalised and
had an operation on his neck glands days before Easter and had to struggle out of bed to take part in
what was to follow. Still bandaged, he took his place in the General Post Office with several other of
the rising’s leaders such as Patrick Pearse and Tom Clarke, though his health prevented him from being
terribly active. His energetic aide de camp was Captain Michael Collins. Following the surrender Plunkett
was held in Kilmainham Gaol, and faced a court martial. Seven hours before his execution by firing squad
at the age of 28, he was married in the prison chapel to his fiance, Grace Gifford. His widow became a
prominent republican, opposed the 1921 Treaty and was imprisoned by the Irish Free State government.
In 1941 she refused to attend a ceremony to receive her husband’s 1916 Rising medal. This was probably
a protest against the government’s wartime policy of internment of IRA members, many of whom were
known to her. When the medal was posted to her she threw it in the bin, where it was rescued by Cathal
Gannon; Grace told him to keep it as she didn’t want it. She was also embittered with the Plunkett family
as they prevented her from receiving anything from her husband’s estate and she had had to sue Count
George Plunkett to receive a settlement of only £700 in 1934.
