9.8 x 8.6cm, 4pp artist’s postcard that show a drawing of a republican liberty cap on the front by Gary Hincks. Inside is a poem by Finlay:

For P.E.

A cap
of liberty
with a Spitfire
roundel

In place of the traditional cockade in blue, red and white is a Spitfire (airplane) roundel which is in the same colours (sometimes yellow or orange is a further outer colour). A reminder of the weapon is added to the revolutionary symbol – terror being alongside virtue. VG+.
