EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fenianism (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of Irish republicanism. The engraving, created by an English School artist, was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on January 18,1868. The image portrays various scenes that highlight the fervor and activities associated with Fenianism during this time. In one corner, we witness a group of individuals swearing their allegiance while another section showcases special constables keeping a watchful eye on proceedings. The central focus captures Fenians drilling in fields as they prepare for their cause. London's influence is evident throughout the composition; police officers patrol nearby while national school rooms and Pearce's Riding School can be seen in the background. This visual narrative provides insight into how deeply rooted Fenianism had become within society at that time. The juxtaposition of peaceful surroundings with symbols of rebellion creates an intriguing tension within this artwork. It serves as a reminder of the complex political climate surrounding Irish nationalism during this period. Preserved within private collections today, this historic print from Bridgeman Images allows us to reflect upon an important chapter in history – one that explores themes such as activism, identity, and resistance against oppressive forces.
