EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the engraving of John Edward Barrett, a prominent figure in 19th-century Cork. A farmer and landlord, Barrett's image is depicted with great detail and precision by an English School artist. The print was originally featured in The Graphic on January 26,1889. The composition tells a story of resistance against tyranny and oppression. In the background, we see an effigy being burnt as a symbol of defiance against threats made by Barrett towards his tenants. This act represents the determination of the local community to resist unjust treatment. Barrett's involvement with the Parnell Commission and League further emphasizes his significance during this period of social unrest. As a powerful landlord, he wielded influence over the lives and livelihoods of many individuals in Cork. Through this image, we are transported back to a time when tenant farmers faced immense challenges under oppressive landlords like Barrett. It serves as a reminder that even in times of adversity, communities can unite to fight for their rights. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical artifact from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. With its intricate details and rich symbolism, this print offers us a glimpse into the struggles faced by ordinary people at the hands of those who abused their power.
