EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the historic Belfast Riots of 1886. The image, taken by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the tumultuous atmosphere that engulfed the streets of Belfast during this period of unrest. Protestants and Catholics clashed fiercely over issues related to home rule, resulting in violent riots and protests. The photograph provides a glimpse into the chaos that unfolded on those fateful days. Rioters can be seen filling the streets, their faces filled with anger and determination as they express their discontent through civil disobedience. This powerful illustration serves as a reminder of the deep divisions that plagued Irish society at that time. The significance of this moment in history cannot be overstated. It symbolizes not only a clash between religious groups but also reflects broader tensions surrounding Irish identity and British rule. The rioters' actions were fueled by political grievances and aspirations for self-governance. Preserved within this private collection, this print offers us an invaluable window into our past. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come since those turbulent times while also prompting us to reflect on ongoing struggles for justice and equality around the world today. © Ken Welsh's expertly captured image allows viewers to immerse themselves in this pivotal moment in European history - one where protest turned into violence, leaving an indelible mark on both Belfast's landscape and its people's collective memory.
