DUBLIN AND KERRY.In the winter of 1973 they were the deposed royal houses of Gaelic footballconsigned to looking out across their borders as bonfires burned on neighbouring estates.By the end of the decade they had re-invented the sport and changed the way we look at the GAA Gaelic Athletic Association.Dublin emerged from the wilderness in 1974having entered the championship as 33/1 shots.Kerry's neatly plotted ambush came the following September.From that platform Kerry and Dublin constructed an opera of passion and revenge which reached its crescendo with the All-Ireland semi-final of 1977.The countries would contest two more finals before the decade was done.Dublin were waning being beaten now by age and fatigue as much as by a Kerry side just discovering their own potential.Their story extended beyond football and beyond the the sidelines.In a decade cursed by recession and emigrationDublin and Kerry filled a vacuum not just in the sporting arena but in the imagination of a nation.The rivalry and the revival that effectively saved and preserved the GAA for future generations was conceived in the minds of two men from different ends of the country.Kevin Heffernanliving in tree-lined Rahenychainsmoked through the winters and thought obsessively of avenging hiscountry's 1955 defeat to Kerry.In windswept Waterville hardby the AtlanticMick O'Dwyer devised the response which would create the greatest era and the greatest team ever seen. The men who played lived disparate lives but shared an overarching passion.Decades later they are united by the bonds they forged.MoranCullenKeaveneyHickeyEganO SeDeenihanSpillane - the names which illuminated those yearsare still magical today.The extraordinary men who were so driven then are as passionate today. From boys of summer to lions of winterthis is their story.

‎A Set of Eight China Dinner Plates with Black and White Wildfowl Designs by Lynn Bogue Hunt with His Explanatory Legends on the Back‎

‎n.p. 1940. 1 vols. 10-1/2 inches in diameter. These plates have been used to dine from--there are minute scratches and rubbing here and there and a small chip to the underside of one or two rims--but they are fine overall and ideal for display. Lynn Bogue Hunt. 1 vols. 10-1/2 inches in diameter. Wildfowl China Plates by Lynn Bogue Hunt. On November 3 1943 Lynn Bogue Hunt wrote to Eugene V. Connett founder proprietor and in 1942 liquidator of The Derrydale Press: ".I have been decorating highball glasses plates and doing porcelains for a couple of years and with considerable success on a royalty basis". Looking at these exceptionally attractive and interesting plates it is easy to see why. Hunt's ducks pheasant quail and other species are vigorously depicted in flight with Hunt's caption and signature included on the front surface. On the back of each plate is shown a pair of the subject birds and a lengthy description about 125 words of their characteristics and habits lettered and signed by Hunt. Despite numerous attempts by various practitioners sporting art does not always translate well to other media but with these plates Hunt has successfully combined form and function with elegance and style.
