EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Buildings of the Company of Ironmongers" a stunning colour engraving by an English School artist. The image captures the essence of 17th-century changes in North East Ulster, particularly focusing on the development of Aghadowey by The Ironmongers Company. As depicted in this artwork, the main house of The Ironmongers Company is known as Lizard Manora, named after the Salamanders featured on their crest. Surrounding it are eight dwelling houses made with Cage Work construction, some slated and some shingled. However, these houses stand quite far apart from each other, offering little support to one another. The historical significance behind this engraving lies in its connection to the Society of Governor and Assistants (later known as Irish Society), formed in 1609 by the City of London. This society was established to manage estates that were reluctantly taken on due to circumstances at that time. Intriguingly, this image also highlights elements such as medieval architecture, livery liveries (representative clothing), industry trade associations, tradesmen's houses along a riverbank. It symbolizes not only iron and iron ore but also represents guilds and freehold properties associated with them. Overall, this print provides a glimpse into both historical events and architectural marvels tied to The Ironmongers Company's influence on Aghadowey during this period in Ireland's history.
