Vol. 2. No. 1- 51. 15th January, 1881 - 31st December, 1882
(77 issues). ill. John Fergus O’Hea. Dublin: Swan, 1881. 4to. Hard Cover.
Good 77 issues bound in one vol. Colour & black & white illustrations.
Covers worn and stained. Internally very good. Rare. Pat was an Irish
weekly satirical journal published in Dublin by W. P. Swan, beginning in
December 1879. It was founded by cartoonist John Fergus O’Hea and
writer Edwin Hamilton, who had previously worked on Zozimus and
Ireland’s Eye. Pat’s political sympathies were for Home Rule, although it
also featured apolitical material. The character of Pat, the honest
Irishman represented as a handsome, good-natured tenant farmer,
would appear in cartoons by O’Hea and others in other publications. Pat
temporarily stopped publishing in September 1880, but resumed
publication in January 1881, with cartoonist Thomas Fitzpatrick joining
O’Hea on the title. It finally folded in March 1883, after which Hamilton
founded the short-lived magazine The Irish Diamond.
