Description
English: From the National Museum of Ireland description: "The poster depicts two female figures, one representing Éire, the other 'West Britain'. Éire is dressed in a red robe with decorative interlace design at the top; she holds a spear in her hand and ribbons that connect her to ships dotted around the coast of Ireland. West Britain, is dressed in the Union Jack and crouches on the east coast of Ireland looking towards England with outstretched palm."
The text reads:
Éire (over the left-hand image) In Gaelic script. Éire is the Irish name for Ireland
WEST BRITAIN (over the right hand image) West Briton is an Irish nationalist slur for an Irish person seen as deferential to Great Britain.
Seaċtṁain na Gaeḋilge (between the images) modern spelling "Seachtain na Gaeilge" ["Week of the Irish language"], a festival run by the Gaelic League
