EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment during the Irish Land War on the Vandeleur Estate. The image, created by an anonymous 19th-century English artist, showcases the intense atmosphere surrounding evictions and resistance in Ireland. Under the Plan of Campaign, on the Vandeleur Estate reveals a scene of turmoil and struggle. In the foreground, we witness an eviction taking place as members of the evicting party forcefully remove families from their homes. The use of a battering ram against a wall signifies both determination and desperation. The general view depicted in this print highlights not only one specific eviction but also reflects the widespread nature of these events during that period. It serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by many Irish families at that time. One notable detail is Pat Spellissy's house in ruins to emphasize how even individual homes were not spared from destruction. This further emphasizes how deeply rooted this conflict was within communities. The presence of Michael Cleary adds another layer to this narrative, suggesting potential resistance or support for those being evicted. His role remains ambiguous but hints at various perspectives held by individuals involved in these struggles. Overall, this engraving provides us with insight into one aspect of Ireland's history marked by social unrest and land disputes. It serves as a visual testament to those who fought against injustice during challenging times while reminding us never to forget our past struggles for justice and equality.
