Historical note
Previously known as Weekly Freeman's Journal, the weekend edition of the Freeman's Journal changed its name to the Weekly Freeman and Irish Agriculturist in 1871, and later became the Weekly Freeman, National press and Irish agriculturist in 1892. Beginning in December 1880, it switched to publishing a large format color lithograph as a supplement to each issue. The supplements usually consisted of political cartoons, as well as occassional portraits of political figures. The cartoons regularly featured Erin, the female personification of Ireland, and Pat, the male personification of the Irish people.
