EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in Roman-era Great Britain, showcasing two Irish Britto men who appear to be judges. The main figure is dressed in traditional attire, including a cloak, coat, trousers, and a biorrad (cap), while carrying laws engraved on bark - a fascinating glimpse into the legal practices of the time. His assistant follows closely behind, similarly attired and ready to assist in the proceedings.
Accompanying the judges is an Irish wolfhound, adding an element of loyalty and companionship to the scene. The dog's presence hints at the importance of animals in ancient societies and their roles within communities.
The intricate details captured by Robert Havell from an illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith bring this historical moment to life with hand-colored aquatint techniques. The overall composition exudes a sense of authority and tradition, highlighting the cultural richness of the British Isles during this period.
As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand how justice was administered and laws were upheld by these Irish Brehons and Filidhs. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and heritage that continues to shape our understanding of society today.
