EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the stark contrast between two Irish MPs, representing opposing political ideologies. The image depicts a Nationalist and a Loyalist side by side, symbolizing the deep divisions that plagued Ireland during this period. The Nationalist MP, Mr. Henry Campbell, hailing from South Fermanagh, is portrayed as a staunch advocate for Irish independence and self-governance. Born in 1859, he played an instrumental role in the formation of the National League and worked tirelessly to promote peace and justice for his fellow countrymen. In contrast, Major Edward James Saunderson represents the Loyalist perspective. As Deputy Lieutenant of North Armagh and Private Secretary to Catholic Young Men's Society in Newry, Saunderson firmly believed in maintaining ties with Britain and preserving Protestant dominance within Ireland. This powerful illustration was originally featured in The Graphic on April 24th, 1886 - an era marked by intense political tensions surrounding Irish home rule. It serves as a poignant reminder of how deeply entrenched these ideological differences were among politicians at that time. Through this historic print captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era where two men stood at opposite ends of the spectrum - their convictions shaping not only their own lives but also influencing the course of Irish history itself.
