Unique 17th Century Broadside AddressTo An Irish Jacobite OfficerCo. Tipperary: Purcell (Col. Nicholas) Baron of Loughmoe in Tipperary. A very rare and important Engraving on silk dated 1686, probably unique, circa 32″ x 24″, with Latin text under an engraved scene showing mythological figures holding the Purcell coat of arms.The Latin text appears to be an Address noting the distinction of the Purcell family, their fortitude in Cromwellian times, their distinction in philosophy and the arts, etc. Evidently it marks the presentation of some official honour or tribute.The Purcell family of Norman origin, is one of the longest established in Irish history. Mac Fhirbisigh traces them back to Charlemagne. The family held important offices in church and state through the 15th and 16th Centuries, but after the reformation it remained Catholic and Jacobite in its main branch, and a Major Purcell was one of the rebels excluded from mercy after the Siege of Limerick. Colonel Nicholas Purcell raised a Tipperary regiment to serve King James and in 1686 he was invited to join the King’s privy Council of Ireland; possibly this was the occasion marked by the present document. He served at James’s side at the Battle of the Boyne, and was preparing to launch a counter-attack against the Willamette troops when James withdrew, being advised that the battle was lost. A close associate of Sarsfield, he was one of the Irish negotiators and signatories to the Treaty of Limerick: and later he went to France to urge James to remove Tyrconnel from his government after the Flight of the Earls. Thereafter he councelled acceptance of the Treaty and lobbied the government on behalf of Irish Catholics.In view of its early date, the material the document is printed on, and remarkable state of preservation, an item of the greatest importance and interest. (1)Provenance: From the Collection of the famous Co. Carlow antiquary Col. Philip Doyne Vigors (1825 – 1903).
