The Eviction Campaign in Ireland - A Glimpse into the Turmoil and Resilience of a Nation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Eviction Campaign in Ireland" offers a poignant snapshot of a dark chapter in Irish history. Captured by William Heysham Overend and published in The Illustrated London News on November 20,1886, this engraving transports us to County Galway during the height of the Irish Land War. In this evocative image, we witness an unsettling scene unfold before our eyes. Summoned by General Buller, people from all walks of life gather together amidst poverty-stricken dwellings. Their faces etched with determination and unrest, they stand united against eviction and resist their forced displacement. The resilience displayed by these tenants is palpable as they face off against authorities attempting to dismantle their homes. Huts dotting the landscape serve as stark reminders of the harsh realities endured by those caught up in this movement for justice. Notably featured are Mary Griffin's bedstead—a symbol of her unwavering spirit—and Widow Donnellan's humble hut nestled amidst Kerry's rugged terrain. These individuals embody the strength and defiance that characterized the Irish Home Rule movement during this tumultuous era. Through this powerful visual narrative captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to a time when action and agitation permeated every corner of Ireland. This photograph serves as both a reminder of past struggles and an homage to those
