1881 Collected Highway Ireland Agitation Roscommon Subscriptions
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a pivotal moment in Irish history - the Land Agitation of 1881. The image, titled "THE LAND AGITATION IN IRELAND, 1881: 1. A Bog-Cabin in Roscommon" offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by rural communities during this tumultuous period. The focal point of the print is a humble bog-cabin nestled amidst the rugged landscape of Roscommon. Its thatched roof and simple construction speak volumes about the poverty and hardship endured by those living off the land. This evocative scene serves as a stark reminder of Ireland's agrarian struggle for fairer land rights. In contrast to this rustic dwelling, another element depicted is "Her Majesty's Highway". This juxtaposition highlights not only social inequality but also signifies how government policies often neglected rural areas in favor of urban development. Furthermore, we witness an intriguing aspect of community solidarity through "How Subscriptions are Collected". This hints at collective efforts to support one another during these challenging times, showcasing resilience and unity against oppressive forces. With its intricate illustrative technique and Victorian charm, this vintage engraving captures both historical significance and artistic beauty. It serves as a poignant reminder of Ireland's past struggles while honoring its rich cultural heritage.
