EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in Dublin's history - the aftermath of the Easter Rising on 13th May 1916. The image captures the devastated corner of Sackville Street and Eden Quay, situated along the picturesque banks of the Liffey River. Buildings lie in ruins, their shattered remains serving as a haunting reminder of the violent conflict that unfolded during this tumultuous period. The destruction seen here was caused by none other than the British admiralty gunboat, known as the Helga. As part of their response to quell the rebellion, British forces shelled these buildings mercilessly. This photograph freezes a poignant scene forever etched into Ireland's collective memory. In its monochromatic format, every detail is accentuated - from debris strewn across cobblestone streets to remnants of what once stood tall against Dublin's skyline. The landscape bears witness to both physical devastation and symbolic resistance. As we reflect upon this historic event, it serves as a reminder of Ireland's struggle for independence and resilience in times of adversity. This print from Hulton Archive/Getty Images encapsulates an important chapter in Irish history, allowing us to connect with those who fought for freedom during that fateful Easter uprising in 1916.
