EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Irish Coins from the Commonwealth era, specifically those minted during James II's reign. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is part of a private collection and showcases the intricate details of these historical coins. The photograph was originally used as an illustration for Herbert Grueber's Handbook of the Coins of Great Britain and Ireland in the British Museum, published in 1899. The print itself is beautifully executed with no screen, allowing every fine line and texture to be clearly visible. With its focus on numismatics, this image takes us back to a significant period in history when England, Ireland, and Scotland were united under one commonwealth. It serves as a reminder of how currency can reflect political changes and cultural influences. The presence of German references within the caption highlights Germany's connection to European history while emphasizing that this particular print does not represent any commercial use or affiliation with a specific company. Instead, it offers viewers an opportunity to delve into British culture through its coinage heritage. Whether you are fascinated by historical artifacts or simply appreciate fine art photography, this image provides a glimpse into both Irish and British history through their coins during James II's reign.
