The Sir David Kirch Collection of Skit Notes - Part Three
A Skit Note by an unknown printer for Self, Leinster, Ulster, Munster & Connaught, 2 Pence, 1 January 1803, promising to pay 'Rory O'Bogg Esqr or Bearer, when the Union of the Kingdoms shall have produced a union of Civil & Religious principles', signed by Pat Potatoe and Dermot O'Wisky, with a vignette displaying a map of Ireland, mounting traces, fine and a scarce original printing for this design £100-£150
---
This note is probably a comment on the 'Act of Union 1801', in which The United Kingdom and The Kingdom of Ireland were merged into one nation. It seems to suggest that whatever the official political situation, the union may be somewhat more difficult to manage!
