Piobroch Cloinn Domhnaill poster. Title translation: "Piper of the MacDonnell Clan". A picture of Sorley Boy McDonnell's piper in a combination of Lithograph and watercolour. The painter is unknown but it is probably the work of a designer from the Belfast firm of Marcus Ward. The work is not unlike that of J.W. Carey. Sorley Boy McDonnell (1505-1589) was the chieftain of the McDonnells of Antrim. The poster has been amended by guache painting over part, plus mounting and lettering etc. Courtesy of Ballycastle Museum.
