Summary

Description
English: Image is an example of the front page of The Irish People, a weekly newspaper published by William O’Brien MP, from 16 September 1899 to the 7 November 1903 in Dublin and again from 30 September 1905 to the 27 March 1909 in Cork. Originally published as the organ of the United Irish League, an agrarian reform organisation founded by O'Brien in 1898.

Its front page generally carried an illustration of a topical political theme, in this case the underlying text reads:
ULSTER’S OFFER: ‘The ‘’Ulster Guardian’’, the organ of the Ulster Liberals, the Northern Presbyterians, and the Independent Orangemen, in its last issue, published a remarkable article appealing to have a rallying ground and starting point formed, which would bring into contact and co-operation all forces ready to work for the attainment of great National objects and eager to promote the prosperity of their native land’.

The illustration shows an Ulster delegation with a standard bearer holding a banner inscribed “ULSTER for CONCILIATON” as well as the offer of “Conference and Co-Operation”.
Standing in front trying to make sense of it, John Redmond MP, leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party, in the background (right) the astonished John Bull .
