EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Home Rule Members of Parliament" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the political landscape of Ireland. The image showcases a group of influential politicians who played significant roles in advocating for Irish self-governance. At the forefront stands Isaac Butt, a prominent Member of Parliament (MP) and founder of the Home Rule League. His determined expression reflects his unwavering commitment to achieving autonomy for Ireland within the British Empire. Flanking him are other notable figures such as P. J. Smyth and J. Martin, both respected MPs representing Westmeath and Meath respectively. The composition exudes an air of authority with these individuals dressed in formal attire befitting their positions as Queens Counsel (QC) or lawyers specializing in constitutional law. Their presence symbolizes hope for change amidst turbulent times. This print originally appeared in The Graphic on November 18,1871, serving as a visual representation of the growing support for home rule among Irish politicians during this period. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on Ireland's struggle for independence within Europe at that time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork from its private collection, allowing us to appreciate its artistic value while also acknowledging its significance in documenting Ireland's journey towards self-determination.
