The exhibit presented by the Ward Irish Music Archives, Milwaukee Irish Fest is taken from more than 140 postcards that are in the Bob Burke Postcard Collection at the Archives. The collection has more than 5,000 postcards. Postcards were very popular during the early twentieth century with the Golden Age of Postcards being 1907-1915.
The postcards in this exhibit are photographs showing the great amount of destruction in Dublin during and after the rebellion. Other photographs are of the leaders and participants in the rebellion. Some show the soldiers on both sides marching and getting ready for battle.
