Countess Markievicz by Homebound

“Dress suitably in short skirts and strong boots, leave your jewels in the bank and buy a revolver” Countess Markievicz, 1916.

Mark at Jam Art Prints writes:

Jam Art Factory just got this new Countess Markievicz print in by HomeBound this week and would like to give an A3 signed one away to the winner of this week’s competition. These prints can be bought in A4 to massive A0 limited/unlimited editions from here

The quote used by Homebound is a memorable one and, to enter, just give us your favourite  quote that you often like to, er, quote when facing a war-like situation or even a domestic battle/Broadsheet comments section, etc.

Lines must close on Friday at 10am.
