Throwing the Dart, a Triennial Civic Ceremony at Cork
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of grandeur and tradition in this lithographic print by Melton Prior. The image transports us to Ireland, where the city of Cork celebrates its rich history with an elaborate ceremony. The focal point of the picture is the Lord Mayor himself, the Right Honourable Edward Fitzgerald, who stands tall and proud as he prepares to throw the ceremonial dart. Dressed in his finest regalia, he exudes authority and dignity befitting his esteemed position. Surrounding him are members of his party, all dressed in their formal attire. They create a vibrant scene filled with color and excitement as they witness this significant event unfold before their eyes. The engraving beautifully captures not only the participants but also showcases architectural details that highlight Cork's historical significance. Every element within this artwork speaks to centuries-old traditions and civic pride. This lithograph was originally published in The Illustrated London News on May 31st, 1902. It serves as a visual record of an important triennial event that brings together community members from all walks of life to celebrate their shared heritage. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the power of tradition and how it can unite people across generations. "Throwing the Dart" is more than just an image; it represents a timeless connection between past and present—a testament to Cork's enduring spirit.
