This is one of a series of posters planned for railway stations around Ireland. The posters emphasise an aspect of local history. This one, in Kilbarrack DART station, chose Gordon Brewster, a cartoonist about whom I have just written a book.
The cartoon is by Derry Dillon and it really is very clever. The half-finished cartoons attributed to Brewster are details from the actual collection of Brewster cartoons in the National Library of Ireland.
Brewster could be considered a "local" as he is buried in Kilbarrack cemetery and lived in both Sutton and Howth.
The series was conceived by the historian Turtle Bunbury. Installation is ongoing and they hope to eventually have posters in 100 stations around Ireland.
